26. Withdrawal of Units

26.1. Withdrawal request while Trust is Liquid

Subject to Clause 26.3, while the Trust is Liquid or is not a registered scheme, any Member may request that some or all of their Units be withdrawn. Each request must:

  • (a) satisfy the form and content requirements prescribed by the Responsible Entity; and

  • (b) be delivered to the Responsible Entity at its registered office (or other place nominated by the Responsible Entity).

Upon making such a request, the Member will have no right to deal with the Units (unless and until the request is denied by the Responsible Entity). A Member may not withdraw a withdrawal request unless the Responsible Entity agrees.

26.2. Action following a request

Within a reasonable time, and in any event within 30 days, of receiving a withdrawal request under Clause 26.1, the Responsible Entity must consider that request and, in the Responsible Entity’s absolute discretion:

  • (a) deny the request (but it must then notify the Member accordingly); or

  • (b) effect the withdrawal by causing the number (or value) of Units held by the Member referred to in the withdrawal request to be redeemed at the applicable Withdrawal Price out of the Assets ; or

26.4. Withdrawal while Trust is not Liquid

  • (a) While the Trust is a registered scheme but is not Liquid the Responsible Entity may make a Withdrawal Offer to all Members or to Members in a Class. A Member may withdraw from the Trust in accordance with the terms of any current Withdrawal Offer. Otherwise, a Member has no right to request that some or all of the Member’s Units be withdrawn. A Member may not withdraw an acceptance of a Withdrawal Offer unless the Responsible Entity agrees.

  • (b) A Withdrawal Offer must contain the information required by the Corporations Act and, if applicable, the Listing Rules. The Withdrawal Offer may be made by:

  • (i) publishing it (for example, in a national newspaper or on the internet); or

  • (ii) giving a copy to all Members (or a Class of Members).

  • (c) Subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, the Responsible Entity may determine the terms of a Withdrawal Offer in its absolute discretion but the means of effecting the withdrawal must be one of those permitted under Clause 26.2 (subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules).

CD2 Constitution Consolidated September 2020

41

  • (d) The Responsible Entity may cancel a Withdrawal Offer in accordance with the Corporations Act.

26.5. Minimum holding

If the Responsible Entity has established a minimum number of Units for which an application can be made or a minimum number of Units which must be held at any time, then the Responsible Entity may treat a withdrawal request (including acceptance of a Withdrawal Offer), which if accepted, would lead a Member to hold fewer Units than that minimum number, as a request for the withdrawal of all that Member’s Units. If there is more than one Class, this Clause only applies to Units in the same Class.

26.6. Sums owed

The Responsible Entity may deduct from the proceeds of withdrawal of Units any money due to the Responsible Entity in relation to the Member.

26.7. Liquid or not Liquid

The Responsible Entity will determine whether or not the Trust is Liquid and, where the Trust is a registered scheme, will make this determination in accordance with the Corporations Act. Such a determination is binding on Members and no Member will challenge it.

26.8. Cooling off

Nothing in this Clause 26 prevents the Responsible Entity from complying with any requirement to return application money to Members in accordance with Part 7.9 of the Corporations Act or with any similar requirement that applies to the Responsible Entity or the Trust.

26.9. Increase of minimum holding

If the Responsible Entity increases the minimum holding for the Trust, the Responsible Entity may, after giving 30 days' notice to a Member who holds Units with an aggregate Withdrawal Price less than the current minimum holding, redeem that Member's holding without the need for a withdrawal request.

26.10. On market buy back of Units

Subject to the Listing Rules, the Corporations Act and any relevant ASIC exemption, including but not limited to an ASIC class order, the Responsible Entity may effect a buy-back of Units by purchasing Units on market as if the Trust was a company, with any adaptations that the operator of the Prescribed Market on which the Units are Listed or ASIC consider appropriate.

26.11. Order

Unless the Responsible Entity decides otherwise, the first Units issued to a Member are the first Units withdrawn.

27. Withdrawal Price

The Withdrawal Price for any Unit will be equal to:

Net Asset Value - Transaction Costs

number of Units on issue

While the Trust is not a registered scheme or is Liquid, each of these variables will be calculated as at the next Valuation Time after the Responsible Entity received (or is taken to have received) the withdrawal request.[– ]

CD2 Constitution Consolidated September 2020

42

If the Trust is a registered scheme but is not Liquid, then each such variable will be calculated as at the day the relevant Withdrawal Offer closes.

  • (d) If the Trust is a Registered Scheme then if the Responsible Entity values an Asset at other than its market value, or where there is no market value, the valuation methods and policies applied by the Responsible Entity must be capable of resulting in a calculation of the Application Price or the Redemption Price that is independently verifiable and which is reasonably current at the time of issue or redemption of Units.

10.3. Currency conversion

Where it is necessary for any purposes to convert one currency to another, the conversion must be made at a time and at such rates quoted by a bank or other financial institution nominated by the Responsible Entity.

11. Accounts, Audit and Reports

11.1. Accounts – Registered Scheme

If the Trust is a Registered Scheme, the Responsible Entity must comply with the requirements of Chapter 2M of the Corporations Act, in so far as they are relevant to the Trust.

11.2. Accounts – Not a Registered Scheme

While the Trust is not a Registered Scheme, the Responsible Entity:

  • (a) must arrange the preparation and maintenance of such accounts and reports as the Responsible Entity, reasonably exercising its discretion, considers appropriate having regard to the nature of the Trust and its Assets, with a view to ensuring that the financial position of the Trust at any time is accurately recorded; and

  • (b) will determine at its discretion whether or not to have the Trust’s accounts audited (but will arrange for such an audit if so directed by all Members).

12. Income and Distributions to Members

12.1. Standing principles for determining Distributable Income

The Responsible Entity may determine standing principles for calculating and distributing the Distributable Income for any Tax Year or Distribution Period and may change the principles from time to time.

12.2. Standing principles for periods where the Trust is an AMIT

For any Tax Year for the Trust that is an AMIT Income Year, unless the Responsible Entity determines otherwise under clause 12.1, the standing principles for determining the Distributable Income for the Tax Year and any Distribution Period will be that the Distributable Income will be the amount determined by the Responsible Entity as being the aggregate of:

(a) the amount determined by the Responsible Entity to be the aggregate of all Trust Components for the Trust for the period that have an assessable income character, determined as if the

CD3 Constitution Consolidated September 2020

26

  • period is a year of income for the purposes of the Tax Act and excluding any amounts of a tax offset character; and

  • (b) any additional amount that the Responsible Entity considers appropriate for distribution in relation to the Trust for the relevant period, including: (ii) amounts referable to the discount capital gains concession; and

  • (iii) any other Trust Components that have the character of exempt income or non assessable non-exempt income.

The standing principles made by the Responsible Entity under this clause may be changed or revoked at any time in accordance with clause 12.1.

~~12.1.1~~ 2.3. Determination of Distributable Income

(a) The Responsible Entity ~~may ~~mustdetermine the distributable income (Distributable Income)
for each Distribution Period. In the case of any Distribution Period which does not end at the
end of a Tax Year, the determination of the Distributable Income for that Distribution Period
may be an estimate.
The Distributable Income is to be:
(i)
if the Responsible Entity has determined standing principles under clause12.1
(including pursuant to clause12.2) which are applicable to the Tax Year or Distribution
Period, the amount calculated by applying those principles in respect of the Tax Year
or Distribution Period; and
if there are no standing principles which are applicable to the Tax Year or Distribution Period
under clause12.1:
(i)
for a Tax Year, the aggregate of the amount which the Responsible Entity determines
to be the“net income of the trust estate”for the Trust for the purposes of section 95 of
the Tax Act for the Tax Year determined disregarding any amounts that the
Responsible Entity determines represent either franking credits or foreign tax offsets;
and
(ii)
for a Distribution Period, the amount which the Responsible Entity determines to be the
Distributable Income for the Distribution Period, determined as if the Distribution Period
is a Tax Year and a year of income for the purposes of the Tax Act

(b)

(c)
(i)

if there
(i)

(ii)
  • ~~(a) by way of a standing determination (subject to the determination not being in contradiction of trust or tax laws), the application of which is capable of independent verification, and may change such principles from time to time in respect of Distribution Periods ending after the change in principles.~~

  • ~~(b) In determining the Distributable Income the Responsible Entity may determine whether any receipt, profit, gain, cost, expense, outgoing or other amount is to be treated, for the purposes of the Trust, as being on income or capital account and may, in making that determination, reclassify amounts which are income as capital, and amounts which are capital as income.~~

  • ~~(c) For the avoidance of doubt:~~

  • ~~(i) in determining the Distributable Income, the Responsible Entity does not have to take into account the Accounting Principles; and~~

  • ~~(ii) the preparation of the accounts of the Trust in accordance with current Accounting Principles is not to be regarded as a determination by the Responsible Entity of the method for calculating the Distributable Income.~~

CD3 Constitution Consolidated September 2020

27

  • ~~(d) Unless the Responsible Entity determines otherwise on or before the Distribution Calculation Date, the Distributable Income for a Distribution Period must be:~~

  • ~~(i) the net income of the Trust as defined in section 95(1) of the 1936 Act, excluding any amount that is included in the net income of the Trust that will not be received by the Responsible Entity; but~~

  • ~~(ii) not less than the amount which if distributed would prevent the Responsible Entity being liable to tax on the income of the Trust.~~

12.4. Accounting standards

The preparation of the accounts of the Trust in accordance with current Australian accounting standards and generally accepted accounting principles is not to be regarded as a determination of the method for calculating the Distributable Income under clause 12.3.

12.5. Power to accumulate or defer amounts

(a) The Responsible Entity may, in respect of a Distribution Period in a Tax Year for the Trust that is an AMIT Income Year for the Trust, determine prior to the end of that Distribution Period that all or part of the Distributable Income of the Trust for the period from the commencement of the Tax Year until the end of the Distribution Period that has not already been distributed to Members under clauses 8.14, 12.6 or 12.21(b) will:

  • (i) be accumulated; or

  • (ii) not be distributed in respect of the Distribution Period and will be distributed to Members later in the Tax Year.

  • (b) The effect of the Responsible Entity exercising its power to accumulate or carry forward an amount pursuant to clause 12.5(a) is, in accordance with clause 12.6, to:

  • (i) exclude the relevant amount from the Income Distributions for Members for:

    • (A) the Distribution Period; and

    • (B) in the case of an accumulation pursuant to clause 12.5(a)(i), all future Distribution Periods; and

(ii) in the case of amounts which are carried forward for distribution later in the Tax Year under clause 12.5(a)(ii), include the relevant amount in the Income Distributions for a subsequent Distribution Period in the Tax Year unless the Responsible Entity determines to distribute the relevant amount earlier under clause 12.21(b).

(c) For the purposes of clause 12.15, amounts accumulated under clause 12.5(a)(i) are to be treated for the purposes of the AMIT Regime as having been accumulated for the benefit of the Members at the time specified by the Responsible Entity. This time must be on or after the time the Responsible Entity determines to accumulate the relevant amount, but at or before the end of the relevant Tax Year.

  • (d) Amounts which are:

  • (i) accumulated pursuant to clause 12.5(a)(i); or

(ii) carried forward for distribution later in the Tax Year pursuant to clause 12.5(a)(ii), but only until the time at which the amount is distributed under clauses 12.6 or 12.21(b), continue to form part of the Assets and no Member has any particular right to or interest in those amounts.

~~12.2. Present Entitlement~~

~~A person who at any time during the Tax Year is or has been a Member, is presently entitled, at the end of the Tax Year to the Distributable Income of the Trust for the Tax Year, in the proportion specified in Clause 12.3.~~

12.6. Income Distributions

Subject to clauses 12.13 and 12.26 Income Distributions in respect of a Member means an amount calculated by the Responsible Entity as follows: (a) in respect of a Distribution Period ending on a Distribution Calculation Date other than the end of a Tax Year, an amount calculated as follows:

A x C B

where:

A is the number of Units held by the Member at the end of the Distribution Period; B is the number of Units held by all Members at the end of the Distribution Period; C is the Distributable Income for the Distribution Period excluding: (i) the Income Component of the Redemption Price of a Unit allocated to any Member pursuant to clause 8.14 during that Distribution period; (ii) any amounts paid pursuant to clause 12.21(b) during that Distribution Period; and (iii) any amounts which the Responsible Entity has determined to accumulate or carry forward for the Distribution Period under clause 12.5(b), and including any amounts which the Responsible Entity has determined to carry forward for a previous Distribution Period in the Tax Year, and which the Responsible Entity determines has not previously been distributed in the Tax Year as an Income Distribution or under clause 12.21(b) and is appropriate to distribute for the Distribution Period; and

(b) in respect of a Distribution Period ending on the last day of the Tax Year, an amount calculated as follows:

A x C B where: A is the number of Units held by the Member at the end of the Distribution Period; B is the number of Units held by all Members at the end of the Distribution Period; and C is any amount by which the Distributable Income for the Tax Year exceeds the aggregate of: (1) the Distributable Income calculated for the purposes of variable C in paragraph (a) above in respect of the previous Distribution Periods of the Tax Year;

CD3 Constitution Consolidated September 2020

29

  - (2) the Income Component of the Redemption Price of a Unit allocated to any Member in the Tax Year pursuant to clause 8.14;

  - (3) any amounts paid pursuant to clause 12.21 during the Tax Year; and
  • (4) any amounts which the Responsible Entity has determined to accumulate for a Distribution Period in the Tax Year under clause 12.5(a)(i).

  • ~~(a) The Responsible Entity may determine to make an interim distribution of Distributable Income accruing during any Interim Distribution Period (an~~ ~~Interim Distribution ). The Responsible Entity must within 90 days of the last day of the Interim Distribution Period pay the Interim Distribution to the Members on the Register at the end of the last day of the Interim Distribution Period in the proportion specified in Clause 12.3(d).~~

  • ~~(b) Within 90 days of the end of the Tax Year and subject to Clause 12.3(d), the Responsible Entity must pay to the Members on the Register at the end of the last day of that Tax Year an amount equal to the Income Distribution of Distributable Income accruing to the Trust for the Tax Year less any amounts previously distributed in respect of that Tax Year under Clause 12.3(a).~~

  • ~~(c) Subject to the rights, obligations and restrictions attaching to any particular Unit or Class and to this Clause 12.3, a Member on the Register on the Distribution Calculation Date:~~

  • ~~(i) for the purposes of Clause 12.2, has an absolute vested and indefeasible interest in, and is presently entitled to;~~

  • ~~(ii) for the purposes of Clause 12.3(b), is presently entitled to a distribution of; and~~

  • ~~(d) Subject to the rights, obligations and restrictions attaching to any particular Unit or Class a Member is entitled to receive a distribution under Clause 12.3(a) or 12.3(b) in accordance with the following formula:~~

~~where:~~

  • ~~A = the amount of the distributable income in respect of the relevant Tax Year or Interim Distribution Period (as the case may be);~~

  • ~~B = the amount of any Additional Tax that has arisen during or in respect of the relevant Tax Year or Interim Distribution Period as a consequence of the characteristics of any particular Member or Members including the number or percentage of Units on Issue held by any such Member;~~

  • ~~C = the aggregate of the number of Units held by the Member as at the close of business on the last Business Day of that Tax Year or Interim Distribution Period which are entitled to a full income distribution for that period plus, if the Member holds at the close of business on the last Business Day of that period Units issued during that period which have a proportionate income entitlement in accordance with Clause 12.6, the aggregate number of such Units held by that Member multiplied by the relevant proportion;~~

  • ~~D = the aggregate of the total number of Units entitled to a full income distribution for the relevant Tax Year or Interim Distribution Period plus, if Units have been issued during that period which have a proportionate income entitlement in accordance with Clause 12.6, the aggregate of the total number of such Units multiplied by the relevant~~

CD3 Constitution Consolidated September 2020

30

~~proportion, in each case calculated as at the close of business on the last Business Day of that period; and~~

~~E = the amount of any Additional Tax that has arisen during or in respect of the relevant Tax Year or Interim Distribution Period as a consequence of the characteristics of the Member including the number or percentage of Units on Issue held by the Member.~~

~~12.3.1~~ 2.7. ~~Satisfaction of~~ Present Entitlement

A person who at any time during the Tax Year is or has been a Member is presently entitled on the last day of the Tax Year to:

(a) if the Tax Year is not an AMIT Income Year, the Distributable Income of the Trust for the Tax Year; and

(b) if the Tax Year is an AMIT Income Year, the Distributable Income of the Trust for the Tax Year excluding any amounts accumulated pursuant to clause 12.5(a)(i),

in the proportion that the (i) Income Distributions calculated in respect of the Member or former Member in respect of the Tax Year under clause 12.6, (ii) any payments made to that Member or former Member in respect of that Tax Year under clause 12.21(b) and (iii) the Income Component of the Redemption Price allocated to the Member in the Tax Year pursuant to clause 8.14 bear to the sum of (i) all Income Distributions in respect of the Tax Year; (ii) all payments made under clause 12.21(b) to persons who are or have been Members at any time during the Tax Year; and (iii) the total Income Components under clause 8.14 in respect of redemptions effected during the Tax Year. ~~The present entitlement of a Member to Distributable Income of the Trust for a Tax Year will be satisfied by the payment of the Income Distributions to the Member in respect of the Tax Year.~~

12.8. Indefeasibility

Despite any other provision of this constitution, a person cannot be defeased of any share of the Distributable Income to which the person is entitled under clauses 12.6 and 12.7.

12.9. Distribution of income

Subject to any deductions made under clause 12.12 and subject to clause 12.1, the Responsible Entity must distribute to each person the person’s entitlement to Distributable Income for a Distribution Period. The distribution in respect of the final Distribution Period in a Tax Year must occur within three months after the end of that Tax Year.

12.10. Separate accounts

The Responsible Entity may keep separate accounts of different categories or sources (or both) of income or gains, or deductions, losses or credits for tax purposes, and if such accounts are kept, they must be kept in accordance with the requirements of the Tax Act. The Responsible Entity may allocate income or gains from a particular category or source (or both) to particular Members or Members of a Class provided that the allocation is not inconsistent with the entitlements of Members to Distributable Income under clauses 8.14, 12.6 or 12.21(b) or the Responsible Entity’s obligations to attribute amounts to Members under clause 12.15.

12.11. Position on transfer of Units

A person who is or was a Member as at a Distribution Calculation Date remains entitled to their share (if any) of the Distributable Income under clauses 12.6 and 12.7 despite any transfer, transmission or redemption of Units by or in respect of the person, being Units which gave rise to the entitlement.

12.12. Deductions from Distributable Income

The Responsible Entity may deduct from any entitlement of a person to a share of Distributable Income any amount which the Responsible Entity is required or authorised to deduct under clause 12.20. All amounts deducted must be applied in reimbursing the Trust for any corresponding amount

CD3 Constitution Consolidated September 2020

31

paid, distributed or reimbursed out of the Trust or reimbursing the Responsible Entity for the payment of the Tax to the person or authority entitled to it.

12.13. Fractions

If the share of Distributable Income for a Member determined under clause 12.6 includes a fraction of a cent, the share is to be adjusted to the nearest cent below the amount calculated and the fraction of the cent becomes an Asset.

12.14. Classification of items

Without limiting clauses 12.1 to 12.3, the Responsible Entity must determine:

(a) the classification of any item as being on income or capital account; (b) the extent to which reserves or provisions need to be made; (c) whether any item of income should be recognised as it is received or as it accrues (but not yet received); and (d) the character for tax purposes of any Distributable Income which the Responsible Entity chooses to accumulate or carry forward for distribution pursuant to clause 12.5(a).

12.15. Attribution under AMIT Regime – basis for attribution

(a) The Responsible Entity must, for an AMIT Income Year, following the end of the Tax Year,
attribute all of the Determined Trust Components of the Trust, or each Class in the Trust
where there is an AMIT Class Election in force for the Trust, for the Tax Year to Members
under the AMIT Regime.
The Responsible Entity must perform the attribution under clause12.15(a) in accordance with
the Tax Act and the following principles:
(i)
the amount of each Member’s Determined Member Components of a particular
character is so much of the Trust’s Determined Trust Component of that particular
character as is attributable to the Units held by the Member, having regard to the
provisions of this Constitution; and
(ii)
if there is more than one Class on issue in the Trust and the Responsible Entity has
made an AMIT Class Election for the Trust, each Class will be treated as a separate
AMIT for the purposes of the attribution under clause12.15(a).
Subject to clause12.16but without limiting clause12.15(b), following the end of an AMIT
Income Year, the Responsible Entity must determine for and attribute to each Member or
former Member of the Trust, all of the Determined Trust Components of the Trust or relevant
Class (where there is an AMIT Class Election in effect for the Trust) for the Tax Year that are
reflected in:
(i)
any Income Distributions that the Member or former Member has become entitled to at
the end of each Distribution Period in the Tax Year under clause12.6;
(ii)
any Income Component distributed to the Member or the re Member under clause8.14;
(iii)
any distributions that the Member or former Member has become entitled to during the
Tax Year under clause12.21(b); and
(iv)
any Income Distributions that would arise for the Member or former Member at a time
specified in clause12.5(c) (“Relevant Time”) under clause12.6if the Relevant Time
was the end of a Distribution Period and variable“C”in the formula set out in clause
12.6for the Distribution Period was the amount accumulated under clause12.5(a)(i).

The Responsible Entity may, during an AMIT Income Year, make estimates of the extent to which particular amounts of Distributable Income that have been distributed for the Trust as an Income Distribution under clause 12.9 or under clause 12.21(b) are referable to Determined Trust Components of the Trust or the relevant Class (where there is an AMIT Class Election in effect in relation to the Trust) for the Tax Year of a particular character. These estimates are not binding on the Responsible Entity when undertaking the process provided for under clause 12.15(a).

12.16. Attribution under AMIT Regime – AMIT Class Election

Where there is an AMIT Class Election in effect, then without limiting clause 12.15:

(a) in calculating the Determined Trust Components of each Class for the Trust, the Responsible Entity must only include in the Determined Trust Components of a Class the Determined Trust Components of the Trust that are referable to the Class, in accordance with the methodology used to determine the Income Distributions of Members of the Class, having regard to clause 12.26; and (b) the Responsible Entity must only attribute Determined Trust Components of a particular Class to Members or former Members of that Class (and not any other Class).

– 12.17. Attribution under AMIT Regime Member objections

If the Trust is an AMIT and a Member or former Member makes an objection or proposed objection to how the Responsible Entity attributes the Determined Trust Components of the Trust or a Class (where the Responsible Entity has made an AMIT Class Election for the Trust) to the Member or former Member under the AMIT Regime, including by making a Member Objection Choice:

(a) the Member or former Member must:

  • (i) provide the Responsible Entity with a copy of the objection notice including the basis for objection, within the time the Member is required to do so under the Tax Act for the objection to be effective;

  • (ii) provide to the Responsible Entity any information the Responsible Entity reasonably requests in relation to the Member’s or former Member’s objection or proposed objection; and

  • (iii) indemnify the Responsible Entity against all costs and Liabilities incurred by the Responsible Entity as a result of the objection. This paragraph (iii) does not limit the Responsible Entity’s other rights to indemnification under this Constitution;

(b) the Responsible Entity may take such actions as it considers necessary, appropriate or reasonable to provide for the rights and interests of other Members or former Members of the Trust to be protected, including in dealings with the Commissioner of Taxation; and

  • (c) the Responsible Entity may amend its attribution of Determined Trust Components to Members or former Members based on the Responsible Entity’s determination of what attribution is appropriate, and take such actions as the Responsible Entity determines are necessary to give effect to the amended attribution, including issuing or reissuing AMMA Statements to Members or former Members.

12.18. AMIT Regime Unders/Overs

For any Tax Year that is an AMIT Income Year, the Responsible Entity may determine how any Unders or Overs that arise for the Trust are to be dealt with in accordance with the AMIT Regime. The Responsible Entity is not liable to any Member or former Member with respect to how it addresses any Unders or Overs, provided that the Responsible Entity addresses the Unders or Overs in accordance with the AMIT Regime, and irrespective of whether the choices made result in an attribution outcome for a Member or former Member that is different from the attribution outcome if the Responsible Entity had not made the choice, or had made the choice differently.

CD3 Constitution Consolidated September 2020

33

~~12.4. Minimum Distribution~~

~~The Responsible Entity may transfer capital to enable distribution to Members holding Ordinary Units pro rata of the minimum amount necessary to avoid the Responsible Entity as Responsible Entity of the Trust becoming liable to pay tax under the Tax Act.~~

~~12.5. Member’s Rights~~

~~For the avoidance of doubt and despite anything in this Clause 12:~~

  • ~~(a) The rights of a Member under this Clause 12 are subject to the rights, obligation and restrictions attaching to the Units which they hold; and~~

  • ~~(b) For the purposes of distribution entitlements, partly paid Units will be treated as that proportion of whole Units as the amount paid up bears to the total issue price for that Unit, rounded down to the nearest 2 decimal places, or in such other manner.~~

~~12.6.1~~ 2.19. Trust taxed as a Company

If the Trust is to be taxed as if it were a company, the Responsible Entity may determine that this Clause 12.19 applies to any period (a Distribution Period ) instead of Clauses 12.3 to 12.1 ~~812.6~~ . If it does so:

  • (a) As soon as practicable after the end of the Distribution Period the Responsible Entity must determine the income in respect of the Distribution Period. Unless the Responsible Entity determines otherwise, the income in respect of the Distribution Period, income will be calculated in accordance with the Accounting Principles.

  • (b) The Responsible Entity must provide for, and pay from the Assets of the Trust when appropriate, all Tax attributable to the income of the Trust.

  • (c) The Responsible Entity may, in its discretion from time to time, determine to pay such amounts of income (if any) as a distribution in respect of the Distribution Period (each a Distributable Amount ) to Members on the Register on any date determined by the Responsible Entity ( CD Date ).

  • (d) For each Distributable Amount being paid to Members under this Clause 12.19 the Responsible Entity:

  • (i) must comply with Tax Act; and

  • (ii) may do anything required or permitted by the Tax Act in relation to trusts which are taxed as if they were companies.

  • (e) A Member is entitled to a portion of the Distributable Amount, calculated as follows:

A x C B

where:

  • A = the aggregate of the number of Units held by the Member as at the close of business on the CD Date for that Distributable Amount which are entitled to a full income distribution plus, if the Member holds on the CD Date for that Distributable Amount Units which have proportionate income entitlement, the aggregate number of such Units held by that Member multiplied by the relevant proportion;

  • B = the aggregate of the number of Units entitled to full income distribution plus if any Units have been issued with proportionate income entitlement, the aggregate of the total number of such Units multiplied by the relevant proportion in each case calculated as at the close of business on the CD Date for the Distributable Amount;

CD3 Constitution Consolidated September 2020

34

C = the Distributable Amount.

  • (f) The Distributable Amount must be paid to Members within two months after the relevant CD Date.

~~12.7.1~~ 2.20. Withholding Tax

  • (a) The Responsible Entity may deduct from any amount dealt with under this Clause any Tax that is required by law to deduct from such amount.

  • (b) Where the income of the Trust is reduced by Additional Taxes attributable to the ownership of Units by certain Members, the entitlement to Income Distributions of such Members may be adjusted by the Responsible Entity, ~~pursuant to Clause 12.3(d), s~~ o that the entitlement to Income Distribution or Distributable Amount of all other Members is equivalent to the amount they would receive in the absence of such Additional Taxes.

~~12.8.1~~ 2.21. Other Distributions

The Responsible Entity may at any time:

  • (a) distribute any amount of capital to all Members holding Ordinary Units pro rata according to the number of Units held as at a time decided by the Responsible Entity; or

  • (b) distribute any amount of income, or income and capital as components of Distributable Income, to all Members holding Ordinary Units pro rata according to the number of such Units held as at a time decided by the Responsible Entity.

  • (a) The Responsible Entity may decide whether to permit or require the Members to reinvest some or all of any distribution to acquire Units of the same Class.

  • (b) If the Responsible Entity decides to permit or require reinvestment, it must notify Members of the procedure for reinvestment and any change in the procedure.

  • (c) If reinvestment applies, the Responsible Entity is deemed to have received and accepted an application to reinvest on the first day after the end of the Distribution Period to which the distribution relates.

  • (d) If reinvestment applies, the Application Price for the Units to be issued on reinvestment will be calculated as follows:

  • (i) while the Units are Officially Quoted the Application Price payable for each additional Unit on reinvestment of Distributions (if any) is the simple average of the daily weighted average traded price of Units on each of the 10 Business Days from and including the second Business Day after the Distribution Calculation Date for the relevant distribution less such discount, if any, not exceeding 10% as the Responsible Entity may determine.

CD3 Constitution Consolidated September 2020

35

  • (ii) while Units are not Officially Quoted, the Application Price payable for each additional Unit upon reinvestment of Distributions is the Application Price calculated by reference to Clause 5.1(b) on the first Business Day after the end of the Distribution Period (or Quarter as the case may be) to which the distribution relates.

~~12.11.~~ 12.23. Position on Transfer of Units

Income in the distribution account when a transfer or transmission of Units is Registered remains credited to the transferor.

13.1. Responsible Entity Discretion

Money payable by the Responsible Entity to a Member may be paid in any manner the Responsible Entity decides.

  • (b) Where Units are taken to be issued under clause 10.5 and the issue has not yet been recorded in the Register, the person to whom the Units are taken to have been issued has an interest of the kind referred to in paragraph (a) based on the net amount of application money that person has contributed to acquire the Units, divided by the relevant Application Price, whether or not the Application Price has been ascertained at that time.

4.3 Units and Classes of Units

  • (a) Subject to clause 4.3(b), the Responsible Entity may issue Units of a single Class or different Classes, with different rights, obligations and restrictions as specified in their terms of issue. All Units in a Class rank equally. A separate Class does not constitute a separate trust.

  • (b) This clause 4.3 does not permit the Responsible Entity to attach rights, obligations or restrictions to a Class to the extent that section 601GA of the Corporations Act requires those matters to be set out in this constitution.

4.4 Change of Class

The Responsible Entity may by notice to a Member redesignate the Class of Units held by that Member.[18] Without limiting clause 15.8, a redesignation must not result in any defeasance of a Member’s existing entitlement to income or capital of the Fund.

If the fees under clause 25 applicable to the new Class into which the Units are to be redesignated are higher than the fees for the old Class, the Responsible Entity may not exercise this power without first giving the Member 30 days’ notice of the proposed change and details of the higher fees.

4.5 Rights attaching to Units

A Member holds a Unit subject to the rights, restrictions and obligations attaching to that Unit.

4.6 Fractions of Units

  • (a) Fractions of a Unit (calculated to 2 decimal places) may be issued by the Responsible Entity but, while the Units are Officially Quoted, fractions of a Unit may not be issued.

  • (b) If any fractions of Units are on issue at a time when the Fund is to be Listed, the Responsible Entity may cancel the fractions with effect from the date of Listing.

  • (c) While Units are Officially Quoted, where any calculation or action performed under this constitution or the terms of a withdrawal offer would result in the issue or redemption of a fraction of a Unit or would otherwise result in fractions of Units being on issue, the number of Units is, subject to this constitution, to be rounded down to the nearest whole Unit.

18 Note the Responsible Entity’s duties to treat members of a class equally (section 601FC(1)(d)), and to act in the best interests of Members (601FC(1)(c)). (A possible example would be where a class is so small that its operation is uneconomic for the Fund, and all members holding units in that class have their units redesignated at the same time.)

  • (d) Any excess application or other money or property which results from rounding under any provision of this constitution becomes an Asset of the Fund.

4.7 Treatment of fractions

The provisions of this constitution relating to Units and Members apply to fractions of Units in the proportion which the fraction bears to one Unit.

4.8 Income entitlement of Units

The Responsible Entity may issue Units or Classes of Units on terms that the Units:

  • (a) participate fully for Distributable Income in respect of the Distribution Period in which they are issued; or

  • (b) do not entitle the holder of the Units to receive a distribution of Distributable Income in respect of the Distribution Period in which the Units are issued; or

  • (c) entitle the holders to receive Distributable Income in respect of the Distribution Period in which the Units are issued which is not greater than the proportion of the Distributable Income to which a Member holding a Unit during the whole of that Distribution Period would be entitled, multiplied by the number of days from the date of allotment of those Units to the end of that Distribution Period divided by the total number of days in that Distribution Period.

5 Options

5.1 Options

Subject to clause 5.2, the Responsible Entity may create and issue Options on such terms and to any persons as the Responsible Entity determines provided that the Responsible Entity may not attach rights, obligations or restrictions to Options to the extent that section 601GA of the Corporations Act requires those matters to be set out in this constitution. An Option does not confer any interest in or any rights to participate in the income or capital of the Fund. An Option Holder holds an Option subject to the terms attaching to that Option. Options may be issued with Units or separately. A person becomes an Option Holder when their holding of Options is entered in the Register of Option Holders.

An offer of Options may be renounced in favour of another person unless it is expressed as non-renounceable. The terms of issue may allow the Responsible Entity to buy back the Options.

5.2 Terms of Options while a Registered Scheme

Subject to the Corporations Act (including the conditions of any applicable ASIC Relief) and the Listing Rules, while the Fund is a Registered Scheme, the Responsible Entity may issue Options:

  • (a) at an application price (which may be nil) determined by the Responsible Entity if permissible under the Corporations Act or, if that determination may not be made, at a nil Application Price; and

  • (b) on the basis that the Application Price for a Unit to be issued on exercise of the Option is a price determined by the Responsible Entity:

CD Private Equity Fund IV Consolidated September 2020

17

© King & Wood Mallesons 58495082 7 ~~58495082 1~~

  • (i) while the Units are Officially Quoted, in accordance with the terms of ASIC Relief[19] for a rights issue or a placement of Units (as applicable), or under clause 9.1(f);

  • (ii) while the Units are not Officially Quoted, in accordance with the terms of ASIC Relief for a rights issue (if applicable) and otherwise in accordance with clause 9.1(g) or 8.1(h).

5.3 Other jurisdictions

If the Fund is a Registered Scheme and the Responsible Entity is making an offer of Options to Members which complies with the principles set out in clause 9.4, the Responsible Entity is not required to offer Options to persons whose address on the Register is outside Australia and New Zealand in the circumstances permitted under the applicable ASIC Relief and, if relevant, the Listing Rules.

5.4 Exercise of Options

To exercise an Option, the Option Holder must give notice to the Responsible Entity in accordance with the terms of the Option, together with payment of the exercise price. The Option Holder is entitled to subscribe for and be allotted the number of Units as the terms of the Option contemplate.

5.5 Lapse of Options

  • An Option lapses on the earliest of:

  • (a) the date stipulated in the terms of issue of the Option; or

  • (b) the termination of the Fund; or

  • (c) the winding up of the Fund,

and the liability of the Responsible Entity ceases in respect of the Option.

6 Financial Instruments

6.1 Issue of Financial Instruments

Subject to the Corporations Act, the Responsible Entity may issue Financial Instruments:

  • (a) at an application price (which may be nil) determined by the Responsible Entity if permissible under the Corporations Act or, if such determination may not be made, at an application price of $100 per Financial Instrument; and

  • (b) on such other terms (including with preferred, deferred or other special rights, obligations or restrictions, with regard to distributions, voting, return of capital, payment of calls, redemption, conversions or otherwise) as the Responsible Entity determines, to the extent that the terms are not inconsistent with the provisions of this constitution which are required to be included in it by section 601GA of the Corporations Act.

6.2 Rights of Financial Instrument Holders

A Financial Instrument Holder holds a Financial Instrument subject to the terms attaching to that Financial Instrument. Subject to those terms and the Corporations Act:

  • (a) a Financial Instrument will not confer any interest in, or any right to participate in, the income or capital of the Fund and does not entitle the Financial Instrument Holder to any other rights of a Member; and

  • (b) a Financial Instrument Holder who is not a Member may, with the Responsible Entity’s consent, attend any meeting of Members but is not entitled to receive notice of or speak or vote at the meeting.

7 Partly Paid Units

7.1 Payment of Application Price by instalments

The Responsible Entity may offer or issue Units on the basis that the Application Price is payable by one or more instalments. The Responsible Entity may determine at the time of offer or issue, or at any later time, the amount of the instalments and the time at which they are payable. The Responsible Entity may require, as a term of issue, and pursuant to and in accordance with its rights under clause 7.5, that the called but unpaid portion of the Application Price bears interest until paid, calculated at a fair market rate as determined by the Responsible Entity.

7.2 Variation or waiver of terms

Subject to any law requiring the Responsible Entity to treat Members of the same Class equally and those of different Classes fairly,[20] where Units are offered for sale or subscription in accordance with clause 7.1, those terms may only be varied or compliance waived in accordance with clause 28. The variation or waiver must not take effect during the currency of any product disclosure statement or other document pursuant to which the Units were offered for sale or subscription.

Subject to any applicable law, the Responsible Entity may postpone or extinguish in full or in part any liability in respect of any money unpaid on Partly Paid Units.

7.3 On termination

Despite anything in this constitution or in the terms of any offer of Partly Paid Units, the whole of the called but unpaid portion of the Application Price of each Partly Paid Unit and any interest which has accrued on that amount is payable by the Member to the Responsible Entity immediately on termination of the Fund.

7.4 Notice of instalments

For Partly Paid Units that are not Officially Quoted, the Responsible Entity must give Members at least 10 Business Days’ notice of the time and date each instalment, other than an initial instalment payable on subscription for Units, is due to be paid.

For Partly Paid Units that are Officially Quoted, the Responsible Entity must:

  • (a) give Members notice in accordance with the Listing Rules[21] (the “ First Notice ”) of the time and date each instalment, other than an initial instalment payable on subscription for Units, is due to be paid and contain the information required by the Listing Rules; and

  • (b) the Responsible Entity must send a second notice to all new Members and those Members whose holding has changed since the First Notice which must include any changes that have occurred in the information given in the First Notice because of a change in the holding.[22]

Subject to the Listing Rules, failing to give a notice or the non-receipt of notice by the Member does not affect the obligation of the Member to pay the instalment and the provisions of this constitution regarding non-payment of an instalment apply as if notice had been given.

7.5 Failure to pay instalments

If a Member fails to pay in full any instalment due on any Partly Paid Unit on or by the day specified for payment, the Responsible Entity may serve a notice on that Member requiring payment of the unpaid instalment and any interest calculated from the due date until payment at a fair market rate as determined by the Responsible Entity. The notice must specify a time and day (“ Specified Time ”) (not earlier than 5 Business Days from the date of service of the notice) on or by which the payment is to be made. The notice must also state that in the event of non-payment on or by that Specified Time, the Partly Paid Units in respect of which all or part of the instalment remains unpaid may be forfeited.

7.6 Forfeiture

If the requirements of any notices issued under clause 7.4 and 7.5 are not complied with by the Specified Time, a Partly Paid Unit in respect of which the notice was given may be forfeited to the Responsible Entity as the Responsible Entity determines.

Subject to clause 7.14, all entitlements to the distribution of Distributable Income in connection with a forfeited Unit are suspended until reinstated by the Responsible Entity.

7.7 Cancelling forfeiture

The Responsible Entity may cancel forfeiture before the Units are disposed of on any terms it determines, if the Responsible Entity receives payment in full of all amounts owing in respect of the Units, including interest.

7.8 Record of forfeiture

The Responsible Entity may make any entry in the Register required to reflect any forfeiture under clause 7.6.

7.9 Balance to former holder

The Responsible Entity must account to the former holder of the forfeited Unit for any balance remaining after deducting from proceeds the Responsible Entity receives from any sale or disposal of the forfeited Unit, the amount owing to the Responsible Entity and the reasonable costs of the sale or disposal including the Responsible Entity’s internal costs of administering the forfeiture and any

subsequent sale, interest on any called but unpaid amounts at a fair market rate as referred to in clause 7.1 and costs of all proceedings initiated against the former holder of the forfeited Unit to recover the unpaid amounts due. The Responsible Entity is not liable for any loss suffered by the former holder as a result of the sale.

7.10 Price of forfeited Units

A Unit forfeited under clause 7.6 may be sold or otherwise disposed of as a Fully Paid Unit or as a Partly Paid Unit, as the Responsible Entity determines:

  • (a) while the Fund is a Registered Scheme, at a price that is no less than a price calculated in accordance with clause 9.1(f) or 9.1(g) as applicable (or if the Unit is disposed of as a Partly Paid Unit, the same proportion of that price as the total of the amount paid up on the Unit and the amount of the called but unpaid instalment(s) bears to the Application Price for that Unit); or

  • (b) while the Units are Officially Quoted, at a price determined by the Responsible Entity where the sale of the forfeited Unit is in accordance with section 254Q of the Corporations Act other than subsections 254Q(1), (9), (10), (13) and (14) as if the Units were shares, the Fund was the company and the responsible entity was the board of directors of the company; or

  • (c) while the Fund is a Registered Scheme, in accordance with any applicable ASIC Relief in relation to the sale of forfeited units, if the Responsible Entity complies with the conditions of the relief[23] ; or

  • (d) subject to the Corporations Act and while Units are Officially Quoted, on ASX or other financial market on which Units are permitted to be traded; or

  • (e) while the Fund is not a Registered Scheme, at any price the Responsible Entity can obtain.

The Responsible Entity is not liable to a Member for any loss suffered by the Member as a result of the sale.

7.11 Rights and obligations of former holder

The holder of Partly Paid Units which have been forfeited ceases to be a Member in respect of the forfeited Units but remains liable to pay to the Responsible Entity all amounts payable in respect of the forfeited Units (including costs associated with the forfeiture and all proceedings instituted against the Member to recover the amount due, and interest up to the date of actual payment). The former holder’s liability ceases when the Responsible Entity receives payment of those amounts in full.

7.12 Evidence of forfeiture

A statement signed by an authorised officer of the Responsible Entity that a Partly Paid Unit has been forfeited on a specified date is conclusive evidence of those facts as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the forfeited Units.

23 See ASIC Class Order [CO 13/655]

21

7.13 Transfer of forfeited Unit

Where a Partly Paid Unit is forfeited and disposed of, the Responsible Entity may receive the consideration given for a forfeited Unit (subject to clause 7.9), and the Responsible Entity may execute a transfer of the Unit in favour of the person to whom the Unit is sold or disposed of. That person must then be registered as the holder of that Unit and is not obliged to ensure that any part of the money which they have paid for the Unit is paid to the former holder of the Unit. That person’s title to that Unit is not affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in relation to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of that Unit.

7.14 Entitlement to distributions

Income and distributions of capital in accordance with clause 15 to which the holder of a forfeited Unit has become entitled and which have not been paid before forfeiture under this clause 7 must be treated under clause 7.9 as if it formed part of the proceeds of sale or disposal of the forfeited Unit.

7.15 Joint holders

Joint holders of Partly Paid Units are jointly and severally liable to pay all amounts due and payable on the Partly Paid Units held by them.

7.16 Cancellation of forfeited Units

The Responsible Entity may cancel Partly Paid Units that have been forfeited at any time but if it does so, must pay to the former holder of the Units from the Fund the amount calculated by subtracting from the Net Asset Value attributable to the Units the amount of any unpaid instalment(s) on the Units and, if the Responsible Entity so determines, any costs incurred in relation to the forfeiture, which may be a reasonable estimate.

8 Transfer, transmission and joint holders

8.1 Transfer of Relevant Securities

Relevant Securities may be transferred subject to their terms, this clause 8 and clause 32.

8.2 Transfer if not Officially Quoted

If Relevant Securities are not Officially Quoted, transfers must be:

  • (a) in a form approved by the Responsible Entity;

  • (b) accompanied by any evidence the Responsible Entity reasonably requires to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer; and

  • (c) if the Responsible Entity requires, be presented for Registration duly stamped.

If Relevant Securities are not Officially Quoted, the Responsible Entity may refuse to record any transfer in the Register without giving any reason for the refusal.

8.3 Transfer if Officially Quoted

Subject to this constitution and the Listing Rules, if a Relevant Security is Officially Quoted, it is transferable:

CD Private Equity Fund IV Consolidated September 2020

22

© King & Wood Mallesons 58495082 7 ~~58495082 1~~

  • (a) as provided by the Operating Rules of a CS Facility if applicable;[24] or

  • (b) by any other method of transfer which is required or permitted by the Corporations Act, ASX or ASIC.

If a duly completed instrument of transfer:

  • (a) is used to transfer a Relevant Security in accordance with paragraph (b); and

  • (b) is left for registration with the Registrar, duly stamped if required and accompanied by any information that the Responsible Entity properly requires to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer,

the Responsible Entity must, subject to the Responsible Entity’s powers, register the transferee as the Relevant Security Holder.

8.4 When transfer is effective

Except as provided by any applicable Operating Rules of a CS Facility, a transfer is not effective until Registered.

8.5 Responsible Entity may request holding lock or refuse to register transfer[25]

If the Relevant Securities are Officially Quoted, and if permitted to do so by the Listing Rules, the Responsible Entity may:

  • (a) request the CS Facility Operator or the Registrar, as the case may be, to apply a holding lock to prevent a transfer of Relevant Securities from being registered on the CS Facility’s sub register or registered on an issuer-sponsored sub register, as the case may be; or

  • (b) refuse to Register a transfer of other Relevant Securities to which paragraph (a) does not apply.

8.6 Responsible Entity must request holding lock or refuse to register transfer

The Responsible Entity must:

  • (a) request the CS Facility Operator or the Registrar, as the case may be, to apply a holding lock to prevent a transfer of Relevant Securities from being registered on the CS Facility’s sub register or registered on an issuer-sponsored sub register, as the case may be; or

  • (b) refuse to register any transfer of Relevant Securities to which paragraph (a) does not apply,

if the Corporations Act or Listing Rules require the Responsible Entity to do so or the transfer is in breach of clause 32.

24 Part 7.11 Div 4 of the Corporations Act. Chi-X’s market licence permits settlements by any CS Facility licensee approved for the purpose.

25 Listing Rule 8.10 restricts the Responsible Entity’s ability to prevent proper transfers, but allows for a holding lock in certain specified circumstances.

23

8.7 Notice of holding locks and refusal to register transfer

If, in the exercise of its rights under clauses 8.5 or 8.6, the Responsible Entity requests the application of a holding lock to prevent a transfer of Relevant Securities or refuses to Register a transfer of Relevant Securities, it must, within two months after the date on which the transfer was lodged with it, give written notice of the request or refusal to:

  • (a) the holder of the Relevant Securities;

  • (b) the purported transferee; and

  • (c) the broker lodging the transfer, if any.

Failure to give notice does not, however, invalidate the decision of the Responsible Entity.

8.8 Joint tenancy

Persons Registered jointly as a Relevant Security Holder hold as joint tenants and not as tenants in common unless the Responsible Entity otherwise agrees.

8.9 Transmission on death[26]

If a holder of Relevant Securities, who does not hold them jointly, dies, the Responsible Entity will recognise only the personal representative of the holder as being entitled to the holder’s interest in the Relevant Securities.

8.10 Information given by personal representative[27]

If the personal representative gives the Responsible Entity the information it reasonably requires to establish the representative’s entitlement to be registered as a holder of the Relevant Securities:

  • (a) the personal representative may:

  • (i) by giving a written and signed notice to the Responsible Entity, elect to be registered as the holder of the Relevant Securities; or

  • (ii) by giving a completed transfer form to the Responsible Entity, transfer the Relevant Securities to another person; and

  • (b) the personal representative is entitled, whether or not registered as the holder of the Relevant Securities, to the same rights as the previous holder.

On receiving an election under paragraph (a)(i), the Responsible Entity must register the personal representative as the holder of the Relevant Securities.

A transfer under paragraph (a)(ii) is subject to the clauses that apply to transfers generally.

8.11 Death of joint owner[28]

If a holder of Relevant Securities, who holds them jointly, dies, the Responsible Entity will recognise only the survivor as being entitled to the holder’s interest in

the Relevant Securities. The estate of the holder is not released from any liability in respect of the Relevant Securities.

8.12 Transmission on bankruptcy[29]

If a person entitled to Relevant Securities because of the bankruptcy of a holder of Relevant Securities gives the Responsible Entity the information it reasonably requires to establish the person’s entitlement to be registered as the holder of the Relevant Securities, the person may:

  • (a) by giving a written and signed notice to the Responsible Entity, elect to be registered as the holder of the Relevant Securities; or

  • (b) by giving a completed transfer form to the Responsible Entity, transfer the Relevant Securities to another person.

On receiving an election under paragraph (a), the Responsible Entity must register the person as the holder of the Relevant Securities.

A transfer under paragraph (b) is subject to the clauses that apply to transfers generally.

This clause has effect subject to the Bankruptcy Act 1966 (Cth).

8.13 Transmission on mental incapacity[30]

If a person entitled to Relevant Securities because of the mental incapacity of a holder of Relevant Securities gives the Responsible Entity the information it reasonably requires to establish the person’s entitlement to be registered as the holder of the Relevant Securities:

  • (a) the person may:

  • (i) by giving a written and signed notice to the Responsible Entity, elect to be registered as the holder of the Relevant Securities; or

  • (ii) by giving a completed transfer form to the Responsible Entity, transfer the Relevant Securities to another person; and

  • (a) in the case of Units offered pursuant to the First Offer Document at a price of $1.60;

  • (b) in the case of a proportionate offer (including a rights issue), in accordance with clause 9.4;

  • (c) in the case of a placement of Units or issue of Units under a security purchase plan while Units are Officially Quoted, in accordance with clause 9.7;

  • (e) in the case of Units issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option, in accordance with clause 5;

  • (f) subject to paragraphs (a) to (e), in all other cases while Units are Officially Quoted, the Market Price of Units immediately before the date on which or as at which the application price is to be calculated (plus, if the Units on issue at that time are partly paid, the amount per Unit remaining unpaid on the Units) multiplied by the Application Factor (if relevant);

  • (g) while Units are not Officially Quoted, in accordance with the following formula:

Net Asset Value + Transaction Costs X Application Factor number of Units in issue

  • (h) notwithstanding paragraph (g), the Responsible Entity may determine a different Application Price for issues of Units whether by way of issue, placement, proportionate offer, rights issue, reinvestment of distributions or a purchase plan to the extent it is permitted to do so or is not prohibited from doing so under the provisions of the Corporations Act and any applicable ASIC Relief,

and the Application Price may be payable either in full on application or by such instalments as the Responsible Entity determines in accordance with clause 7.

9.2 Time for calculation

Each of the variables in clause 9.1(g) must be determined as at the next Valuation Time after:

  • (a) the Responsible Entity receives the application for Units; or

  • (b) the Responsible Entity receives the application money (even if paid or to be paid into the Applications Account) or the property against which Units are to be issued is vested in the Responsible Entity,

whichever happens later.

9.3 Rounding

Subject to the Listing Rules, the application price may be rounded as the Responsible Entity determines but the amount of the rounding must not be more

CD Private Equity Fund IV Consolidated September 2020

26

© King & Wood Mallesons 58495082 7 ~~58495082 1~~

than 1% of the application price. Any excess application money or property which results from rounding becomes an Asset.[31]

9.4 Pro rata rights issues

Subject to the terms of any applicable ASIC Relief and the Listing Rules (while the Listing Rules apply), the Responsible Entity may offer Units for subscription at a price determined by the Responsible Entity to those persons who were Members on a date determined by the Responsible Entity:

  • (a) provided that, subject to paragraph (b) of this clause 9.4, all Members are offered Units in proportion to the value of the Member’s Units (or, where the offer is made only to Members who hold Units in a Class, to the value of the Member’s units in that Class) at the relevant date; and

  • (b) the Responsible Entity may exclude a Member from the pro rata offer if to do so would not be in contravention of paragraph 601FC(1)(d) of the Corporations Act, as modified by ASIC Relief,[32]

whether or not the right of entitlement is renounceable.

9.5 Other jurisdictions

If the Fund is a Registered Scheme and the Responsible Entity is making an offer of Units to Members which complies with the principles set out in clause 9.4, the Responsible Entity is not required to offer Units to persons whose address on the Register is outside Australia and New Zealand in the circumstances permitted under the applicable ASIC Relief and, if relevant, the Listing Rules.[33]

9.6 Terms of pro rata issues

  • (a) Any offer made under clause 9.4 must specify the period during which it may be accepted. It must be made to Members in proportion to the value of their respective Unit holdings on the date determined by the Responsible Entity under clause 9.4. The Responsible Entity may adjust any entitlement to accord with the Listing Rules and, in the case of fractions, the Responsible Entity must offer the next higher whole number of Units. Any Member may renounce their entitlement in favour of some other person, unless the issue is expressed to be nonrenounceable.

  • (b) Any Units offered for subscription under clause 9.4 which are not subscribed for within the period for acceptance set by the Responsible Entity may be offered for subscription by the Responsible Entity to any person. The application price payable in relation to such further offer must not be less than that at which the Units were originally offered to Members.

  • (c) If an underwriter has underwritten any offer for subscription of Units under clause 9.4, the underwriter may take up any Units not subscribed for by Members.

9.7 Placements and security purchase plan while Listed

While Units in a Class are Officially Quoted and not suspended from quotation, the Responsible Entity may at any time issue Units in that Class by way of a placement or under a security purchase plan:

  • (a) at the Market Price of Units during the 10 Trading Days immediately before the date on which the Units are offered; or

  • (b) at a price and on terms determined by the Responsible Entity, provided that the Responsible Entity complies with the Listing Rules applicable to the issue and the conditions and restrictions of any applicable ASIC Relief.[34]

9.8 Reinvestment while Listed

  • (a) If reinvestment of distributions payable to a Member under clause 15.19 applies while the Units are Officially Quoted, subject to the Listing Rules, the Responsible Entity may issue Units on the basis that the application price for each additional Unit issued or transferred upon reinvestment is the price determined by the Responsible Entity. If the Responsible Entity has not determined the application price by the date at which units are to be issued upon reinvestment, the price will be the average of the VWAP for Units for each of the 10 Trading Days from and including the Trading Day after the Record Date for the relevant Distribution Period.

  • (b) If the amount to be reinvested in additional Units results in a fraction of a Unit, the number of Units to be issued will be rounded down to the nearest whole Unit and any remaining amount becomes an Asset.

9.9 Reinvestment while not Listed

While Units are not Officially Quoted, the Responsible Entity may issue Units on the basis that the application price payable for each additional Unit on reinvestment of distributions payable to a Member under clause 15.19 is the price determined by the Responsible Entity. If the Responsible Entity has not determined the application price by the date at which Units are to be issued upon reinvestment, the application price will be as calculated under clause 9.1(g) or 8.1(h) on the first Business Day after the end of the Distribution Period to which the distribution relates.

  • (c) At the time when Units are taken to be issued under paragraph (a)(ii) or (b):

10.6 Uncleared funds

Units issued against application money paid other than in cleared funds, or in consideration of a transfer of property, are void if the funds are not subsequently cleared or the property does not vest in the Responsible Entity within 1 month of receipt of the application.

11 Redemption Price of Units[39]

11.1 Redemption Price

Subject to clauses 12.1 ~~612.16~~ and 12.17, the redemption price for a Unit must be calculated as follows:

Net Asset Value - Transaction Costs

number of Units in issue

less any amount unpaid on the Unit whether called or uncalled.

11.2 Time for calculation

Each of the variables in clause 11.1 must be determined:

  • (a) while the Fund is a Registered Scheme and is Liquid, and at all times when the Fund is not a Registered Scheme, as at the next Valuation Time after the redemption request has been, or is taken to have been, received and Accepted by the Responsible Entity; or

  • (b) while the Fund is a Registered Scheme and is not Liquid, as at the last Valuation Time before the withdrawal offer is made.

For the purposes of this calculation, if at the relevant Valuation Time Units have been issued under clause 10.5 but the Application Price of those Units has not yet been ascertained, the application money or property relating to those Units and the number of Units are to be excluded from the calculation.

11.3 Rounding

Subject to the Listing Rules, the Redemption Price may be rounded as the Responsible Entity determines but the amount of the rounding must not be more

38 For the purposes of section 761E(2).

The Responsible Entity is not obliged to satisfy any such request.

12.3 Request may not be withdrawn

A Member may not withdraw a redemption request unless the Responsible Entity agrees.

12.4 When Fund is Liquid[44] or not a Registered Scheme

Clauses 12.5, 12.7 and 12.8 apply only while:

40 See notional section 601GAC in ASIC Corporations (Managed investment product consideration) Instrument 2015/847.

  • 41 While the Fund is a Registered Scheme, these procedures must be fair to all Members: section 601GA(4).

clause 11. The payment must be made within 21 days of the date on which the Unit is redeemed under clause 12.15, or such longer period as allowed by clause 12.6.

  • (c) If the Responsible Entity decides not to Accept some or all of the redemption request, it must notify the Member of its decision within 30 days of receipt of the request or such longer period as allowed by clause 12.6.

  • (d) If the Responsible Entity does not decide whether to Accept the redemption request by the day which is 30 days after receipt of the request or the last day of such longer period as allowed by clause 12.6, on that day the Responsible Entity it is taken to have decided not to Accept the request, the request lapses and the Responsible Entity must notify the Member of its decision as soon as possible and in any event within a further 10 days following the deemed decision.

  • (e) The day of receipt of the redemption request is:

  • (i) the day of actual receipt if the redemption request is received before 3.00pm on a Business Day; or

  • (f) Notwithstanding clauses 12.5(a) to 12.5(e), but subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, the Responsible Entity may do anything necessary or desirable to give effect to the automatic redemption of the Initial Units under clause 26.1 without the need to comply with any of the provisions of this clause 12.

12.6 Delayed payment

  • (a) Subject to paragraph 12.6(b), the Responsible Entity may at any time suspend consideration of redemption requests, or defer its obligation to pay the Redemption Price in respect of a redemption request it has Accepted, if it is not possible or not in the best interests of Members and former Members who have not yet received the Redemption Price for their Units at the time the circumstances arise, for it to process redemption requests or make the payment (as applicable) due to one or more circumstances outside its control such as restricted, suspended or permanent cessation of trading or extreme price fluctuation or uncertainty in the market for an Asset, and the period allowed under clause 12.5 for consideration of the redemption request or payment of the Redemption Price may be extended by the number of days during which such circumstances apply.

  • (b) In relation to a withdrawal offer to which Part 5C.6 of the Corporations Act applies, the Responsible Entity must pay the redemption proceeds to the withdrawing Member or former Member within 21 days of the date on which the withdrawal offer closes.[46]

46 Section 601KD.

CD Private Equity Fund IV Consolidated September 2020

32

holding amount, the Responsible Entity may treat the redemption request as relating to the balance of the Member’s holding.

12.8 Increased minimum

If the Responsible Entity increases the minimum holding amount, the Responsible Entity may, after giving 30 days’ notice to a Member who holds Units with an aggregate Redemption Price less than the then current minimum holding amount, redeem that Member’s holding without the need for a redemption request.

12.9 Payment from the Assets

The Responsible Entity is not obliged to pay any part of the Redemption Price out of its own funds.

12.10 While Fund is not Liquid[47]

While the Fund is not Liquid,[48] a Member may withdraw from the Fund in accordance with the terms of any current withdrawal offer made by the Responsible Entity in accordance with the provisions of the Corporations Act regulating offers of that kind.[49] While the Fund is a Registered Scheme and is not Liquid, if there is no withdrawal offer currently open for acceptance by Members, a Member has no right to request withdrawal from the Fund.

12.11 Responsible Entity not obliged

The Responsible Entity is not at any time obliged to make a withdrawal offer. If it does, it may do so by sending a copy of the offer to all Members, or making a copy of the offer available by electronic means and giving notice to Members that it is available.

12.12 Cancellation of withdrawal offer

The Responsible Entity may cancel a withdrawal offer at any time. If it does, it may do so by sending a notice that the offer is cancelled to all Members, or making the notice available by electronic means and giving notice to Members that it is available.

The cancellation of a withdrawal offer by the Responsible Entity does not affect the rights of Members or former Members whose acceptance of the offer has been received by the Responsible Entity in accordance with clause 20 after the offer period has opened but before the date on which the offer is cancelled to withdraw from the Fund in accordance with the terms of the withdrawal offer.

12.13 Treatment of request

12.14 Sums owed to Responsible Entity

The Responsible Entity may deduct from the proceeds of redemption or money paid pursuant to a withdrawal offer any money due to it by the Member or former Members whose Units have been redeemed. While the Fund is Liquid or not a Registered Scheme, the Responsible Entity may redeem without a redemption request some or all of the Units held by a Member to satisfy any amount of money due to it by the Member.

12.15 When Units are redeemed

Units are taken to be redeemed:

  • (a) where the redemption is to occur in response to a redemption request from a Member, at the time at which the Responsible Entity has:

  • (i) received and Accepted the redemption request in respect of the Units; and

  • (ii) calculated the Redemption Price of the Units;[50] or

  • (b) if paragraph (a) does not apply, at the time at which the Redemption Price is known and the redemption is recorded in the Register,

and from that time until payment of the Redemption Price, the former holder of the redeemed Units ceases to be a Member in respect of those Units and is a creditor of the Fund in respect of the redemption proceeds.

If Units are redeemed at the time referred to in paragraph (a), the Responsible Entity must as soon as is reasonably practicable arrange for the redemption of the Units to be recorded in the Register.

12.16 Buy backs

While the Units are Officially Quoted, the Responsible Entity may, subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, purchase Units on ASX or any other financial market on which the trading of Units is permitted, and also off-market, and cause the Units to be cancelled. No Redemption Price is payable on cancellation of the Units.

12.17 While Officially Quoted

While the Units are Officially Quoted, the Responsible Entity may, subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, make a withdrawal offer under clause 12.10, in which case clauses 12.10 to 12.13 apply in relation to the withdrawal offer, and the Redemption Price is to be calculated in accordance with clause 11.2(b).

12.18 Distribution to Members on a Redemption

  • (a) If, during a Distribution Period, the Responsible Entity Accepts a redemption request from a Member which is in respect of 5% or more of the Units on issue or such other amount as may be determined by the Responsible Entity and notified to Members from time to time (“ Large Redemption Request ”) then the Responsible Entity must determine at or before the end of the relevant Distribution Period:

  • (i) what amount (“ Income Component ”) of the payment in satisfaction of the Large Redemption Request (“ Redemption

Payment ”) in respect of the Units represents a distribution of the Distributable Income for that Financial Year; and

  • (ii) whether the Income Component of the Redemption Payment will comprise a distribution of Distributable Income for the Financial Year of any particular character for tax purposes.

  • (b) Where the Responsible Entity makes a determination under clause 12.18(a) in respect of a Redemption Payment to a Member or former Member, the Responsible Entity must make the determination by reference to:

  • (i) that component of the Distributable Income of the Fund for the Financial Year to date that has not been distributed (at the time the Redemption Price in respect of the Large Redemption Request is determined under clause 12.18(a)) that the Responsible Entity determines is referable to:

    • (A) capital gains; or

    • (B) amounts which reflect gains (which are not capital gains) on the disposal or realisation of Assets; and

  • (ii) the increase in the component of the Distributable Income of the Fund referred to in clause 12.18(b)(i)(A) as a result of the Responsible Entity realising sufficient Assets to satisfy the Large Redemption Request; and

the number of Units specified in the Large Redemption Request and the number of Units on issue at the time the Large Redemption Request is made.

13 Valuation of assets and accounts, audit and reports

13.1 Periodic valuations

The Responsible Entity may cause an Asset to be valued at any time and, if the Fund is a Registered Scheme, must do so as and when required by the Corporations Act.[51]

13.2 Net Asset Value

The Responsible Entity may determine Net Asset Value at any time, including more than once on each day.

13.3 Valuation methods

The Responsible Entity may determine the value of an Asset, and determine valuation methods and policies for each category of Asset and change them from time to time. While the Fund is a Registered Scheme, the Responsible Entity’s policy for the valuation of Assets must be based on the range of ordinary commercial practice for valuing the relevant type of asset and, where used to calculate the Application Price or Redemption Price of a Unit, the value must be reasonably current[52] . In the absence of any other determination by the Responsible Entity, the value of an Asset will be its Market Value.

51 See section 601FC(j) for Responsible Entity’s obligations concerning valuation.

52 ASIC RG 134.110 provides guidance on the meaning of “reasonably current”.

13.4 Currency conversion

Where it is necessary for the purposes of a valuation to convert one currency to another, the conversion is to be made at a time and at the rate quoted by a bank or an independent pricing provider (such as Reuters) nominated by the Responsible Entity. Where the value of an Asset denominated in foreign currency is converted for the purposes of calculating the Redemption Price of a Unit, the currency valuation applied must be consistent with the range of ordinary commercial practice for valuing currency, and the value must be reasonably current at the time the Redemption Price is calculated.[53]

13.5 Accounts, audit and reports

While the Fund is not a Registered Scheme, the Responsible Entity must keep or cause to be kept proper books of account which correctly record and explain the transactions and financial position of the Fund and may, but need not, have those records audited.

14 Reorganisation Proposals

14.1 Power to enter into Reorganisation Proposals

Without limiting any other provision of this constitution, the Responsible Entity may determine to carry out and give effect to:

Unless the Responsible Entity agrees otherwise, it is a term of issue of each Unit, Option or Financial Instrument that the Unit, Option or Financial Instrument may be subject to a Reorganisation Proposal as provided in this clause 14.1. Each Member, by subscribing for or taking a transfer of, or otherwise acquiring a Unit, Option or Financial Instrument, is taken to have consented to these Reorganisation Proposals.

14.2 Power to give effect to Reorganisation Proposals

If the Responsible Entity determines to carry out a Reorganisation Proposal in accordance with clause 14.1, then the Responsible Entity has power to do all things which the Responsible Entity considers necessary, desirable or reasonably incidental to give effect to the relevant proposal, including to:

  • (a) make distributions and other payments out of the Assets and (subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules) to redeem Units, and to apply the payment or redemption proceeds on behalf of Members;

  • (b) apply for or purchase fully paid securities on behalf of the Members and to consent on behalf of Members to become a member of a company, trust or other body;

  • (d) A “Designated Foreign Investor Cash-Out” means that Members who are Designated Foreign Investors will:

  • (i) not be the holder of any newly acquired Securities or financial products (including, for the avoidance of doubt, CD3 Units) as a result of implementation of a Reorganisation Proposal; and

  • (ii) receive an amount of cash:

    • (A) realised by selling Units, Options, Financial Instruments or other securities or financial products (including, for the avoidance of doubt, CD3 Units) held by that Member or to which the Member would have been entitled if it had participated in the Reorganisation Proposal; or

    • (B) otherwise determined by the Responsible Entity to be equivalent to the value of Units, Options, Financial Instruments or other securities or financial products (including, for the avoidance of doubt, CD3 Units) to which the Member would have been entitled if it had participated in the Reorganisation Proposal.

15 Income and distributions to Members[56]

15.1 Standing principles for determining Distributable Income

The Responsible Entity may determine standing principles for calculating and distributing the Distributable Income for any Financial Year or Distribution Period and may change the principles from time to time.

15.2 Standing principles for periods where Fund is an AMIT

For any Financial Year for the Fund that is an AMIT Income Year, unless the Responsible Entity determines otherwise under clause 15.1, the standing principles for determining the Distributable Income for the Financial Year and any Distribution Period will be that the Distributable Income will be the amount determined by the Responsible Entity as being the aggregate of:

  • (a) the amount determined by the Responsible Entity to be the aggregate of all Trust Components for the Fund for the period that have an assessable income character, determined as if the period is a year of income for the purposes of the Tax Act and excluding any amounts of a tax offset character; and

  • (b) any additional amount that the Responsible Entity considers appropriate for distribution in relation to the Fund for the relevant period, including:

  • (i) amounts referable to the discount capital gains concession; and

  • (ii) any other Trust Components that have the character of exempt income or non-assessable non-exempt income.

The standing principles made by the Responsible Entity under this clause 15.2 may be changed or revoked at any time in accordance with clause 15.1.

15.3 Determination of Distributable Income

The Responsible Entity must determine the Distributable Income for each Distribution Period. In the case of any Distribution Period which does not end at

56 Refer to Listing Rules 3.20 - notification to ASX of record date, and 6.10 - prohibition on changing the right to a distribution.

the end of a Financial Year this determination of the Distributable Income for that Distribution Period may be an estimate. The Distributable Income is to be:

  • (a) if the Responsible Entity has determined standing principles under clause 15.1 (including pursuant to clause 15.2) which are applicable to the Financial Year or Distribution Period, the amount calculated by applying those principles in respect of the Financial Year or Distribution Period; and

  • (b) if there are no standing principles which are applicable to the Financial Year or Distribution Period under clause 15.1:

  • (i) for a Financial Year, the aggregate of:

    • (A) the amount which the Responsible Entity ~~Trustee~~ determines to be the “net income of the trust estate” for the Trust for the purposes of section 95 of the Tax Act for the Financial Year, determined disregarding:

      • (aa) any amounts that the Responsible Entity ~~Trustee~~ determines represent either franking credits or foreign tax offsets; and

      • (ab) any reduction in the net capital gain for the Trust for the Financial Year which the Responsible Entity ~~Trustee~~ determines arises as a result of the discount capital gains concession; and

  • (ii) for a Distribution Period, the amount which the Responsible Entity ~~Trustee d~~ etermines to be the Distributable Income for the Distribution Period, determined as if the Distribution Period is a Financial Year and a year of income for the purposes of the Tax Act.

15.4 Accounting standards

The preparation of the accounts of the Fund in accordance with current Australian accounting standards and generally accepted accounting principles is not to be regarded as a determination of the method for calculating the Distributable Income under clause 15.3.

15.5 Power to accumulate or defer amounts

  • (a) The Responsible Entity may, in respect of a Distribution Period in a Financial Year for the Fund that is an AMIT Income Year for the Fund, determine prior to the end of that Distribution Period that all or part of the Distributable Income of the Fund for the period from the commencement of the Financial Year until the end of the Distribution Period that has not already been distributed to Members under clauses 12.18, 15.6 or 15.24(b) will:

  • (i) be accumulated; or

  • (ii) not be distributed in respect of the Distribution Period and will be distributed to Members of the Fund later in the Financial Year.

  • (b) The effect of the Responsible Entity exercising its power to accumulate or carry forward an amount pursuant to clause 15.5(a) is, in accordance with clause 15.6, to:

CD Private Equity Fund IV Consolidated September 2020

41

© King & Wood Mallesons 58495082 7 ~~58495082 1~~

  • (i) exclude the relevant amount from the Income Distributions for Members of the Fund for:

    • (A) the Distribution Period; and

    • (B) in the case of an accumulation pursuant to clause 15.5(a)(i), all future Distribution Periods; and

  • (ii) in the case of amounts which are carried forward for distribution later in the Financial Year under clause 15.5(a)(ii), include the relevant amount in the Income Distributions for a subsequent Distribution Period in the Financial Year unless the Responsible Entity determines to distribute the relevant amount earlier under claus ~~e~~ 15.24(b).

  • (c) For the purposes of 15.15, amounts accumulated under clause 15.5(a)(i) are to be treated for the purposes of the AMIT Regime as having been accumulated for the benefit of the Members at the time specified by the Responsible Entity. This time must be on or after the time the Responsible Entity determines to accumulate the relevant amount, but at or before the end of the relevant Financial Year.

  • (d) Amounts which are:

  • (i) accumulated pursuant to clause 15.5(a)(i); or

  • (ii) carried forward for distribution later in the Financial Year pursuant to clause 15.5(a)(ii), but only until the time at which the amount is distributed under clauses 15.6 or 15.24(b),

continue to form part of the Assets and no Member has any particular right to or interest in those amounts.

15.6 Income Distributions

Subject to clauses 4.8, 15.13 and 15.28, Income Distributions in respect of a Member means an amount calculated by the Responsible Entity as follows:

  • (a) in respect of a Distribution Period ending on a Distribution Calculation Date other than the end of the Financial Year in any year, an amount calculated as follows:

A x C

B

where:

  • A is the number of Units held by the Member at the end of the Distribution Period;

  • B is the number of Units held by all Members at the end of the Distribution Period;

  • C is the Distributable Income for the Distribution Period excluding:

  • (i) the Income Component of any Redemption Payment made to any Member pursuant to clause 12.18 during that Distribution Period;

CD Private Equity Fund IV Consolidated September 2020

42

© King & Wood Mallesons 58495082 7 ~~58495082 1~~

  • (ii) any amounts paid pursuant to clause 15.24(b) during that Distribution Period; and

  • (iii) any amounts which the Responsible Entity has determined to accumulate or carry forward for the Distribution period under clause 15.5(a),

and including any amounts which the Responsible Entity has determined to carry forward for a previous Distribution Period in the Financial Year, and which the Responsible Entity determines has not previously been distributed in the Financial Year as an Income Distribution or under clause 15.24(b) and is appropriate to distribute for the Distribution Period; and

  • (b) in respect of a Distribution Period ending on the end of the Financial Year in any year, an amount calculated as follows:

A x C B

where:

  • A is the number of Units held by the Member at the end of the Distribution Period;

  • B is the number of Units held by all Members at the end of the Distribution Period; and

  • C is any amount by which the Distributable Income for the Financial Year exceeds the aggregate of:

  • (1) the Distributable Income calculated for the purposes of variable C in paragraph (a) above in respect of the previous Distribution Periods of the Financial Year;

  • (2) the Income Component of any Redemption Payment made to any Member in the Financial Year pursuant to clause 12.18; and

  • (3) any amounts paid pursuant to clause 15.24(b) during the Financial Year; and

  • (4) any amounts which the Responsible Entity has determined to accumulate for a Distribution Period in the Financial Year under clause 15.5(a)(i).

15.7 Present entitlement

Subject to clause 4.8, a person who at any time during the Financial Year is or has been a Member is presently entitled on the last day of the Financial Year to:

  • (a) if the Financial Year is not an AMIT Income Year, the Distributable Income of the Fund for the Financial Year; and

  • (b) if the Financial Year is an AMIT Income Year, the Distributable Income of the Fund for the Financial Year excluding any amounts accumulated pursuant to clause 15.5(a)(i),

in the proportion that the (i) Income Distributions calculated in respect of the Member or former Member in respect of the Financial Year under clause 15.6

CD Private Equity Fund IV Consolidated September 2020

43

© King & Wood Mallesons 58495082 7 ~~58495082 1~~

and (ii) any payments made to that Member or former Member in respect of that Financial Year under clause 15.24(b) and (iii) the Income Component of any Redemption Payment made to the Member in the Financial Year pursuant to clause 12.18 bear to the sum of (i) all Income Distributions calculated under clause 15.6 and (ii) all payments made under clause 15.24(b) and (iii) all of the Income Components of any Redemption Payments made to persons who are or have been Members at any time during the Financial Year.

15.8 Indefeasibility

Despite any other provision of this constitution, a person cannot be defeased of any share of the Distributable Income to which the person is entitled under clause 15.6 and 15.7.

15.9 Distribution of income

Subject to any deductions made under clause 15.12 and subject to clause 15.1, the Responsible Entity must distribute to each person the person’s entitlement to Distributable Income for a Distribution Period. That distribution must occur within three months after the Distribution Calculation Date for the Distribution Period.

15.10 Separate accounts

The Responsible Entity may keep separate accounts of different categories or sources (or both) of income or gains, or deductions, losses or credits for tax purposes, and if such accounts are kept, they must be kept in accordance with the requirements of the Tax Act. The Responsible Entity may allocate income or gains from a particular category or source (or both) to particular Members or Members of a Class, provided that the allocation is not inconsistent with the entitlements of Members to Distributable Income under clauses 15.6 or 15.24(b) or the Responsible Entity’s obligation to attribute amounts to Members under clause 15.15. For a Financial Year for the Fund which is not an AMIT Income Year, if such allocation is made on any basis other than pro rata with all other Members, the Responsible Entity must notify the Member.

15.11 Position on transfer of Units

A person who is or was a Member as at a Distribution Calculation Date remains entitled to their share (if any) of the Distributable Income under clause 15.6 despite any transfer, transmission or redemption of Units by or in respect of the person, being Units which gave rise to the entitlement.

15.12 Deductions from Distributable Income

The Responsible Entity may deduct from any entitlement of a person to a share of Distributable Income any amount which the Responsible Entity is required or authorised to deduct under clause 16.7 and all amounts deducted must be applied in reimbursing the Fund for any corresponding amount paid, distributed or reimbursed out of the Fund or reimbursing the Responsible Entity for the payment of the Tax to the person or authority entitled to it.

15.13 Fractions

If the share of Distributable Income for a Member determined under clause 15.6 includes a fraction of a cent, the share is to be adjusted to the nearest cent below the amount calculated and the fraction of the cent becomes an Asset.

15.14 Classification of items

Without limiting clauses 15.1 to 15.3, the Responsible Entity must determine:

CD Private Equity Fund IV Consolidated September 2020

44

© King & Wood Mallesons 58495082 7 ~~58495082 1~~

  • (a) the classification of any item as being on income or capital account;

  • (b) the extent to which reserves or provisions need to be made; and

  • (c) whether any item of income should be recognised as it is received or as it accrues (but not yet received); and

  • (d) the character for tax purposes of any Distributable Income which the Responsible Entity chooses to accumulate or carry forward for distribution pursuant to clause 15.5(a).

15.15 Attribution under AMIT Regime – basis for attribution

  • (a) The Responsible Entity must, for an AMIT Income Year, following the end of the Financial Year, attribute all of the Determined Trust Components of the Fund, or each Class in the Fund where there is an AMIT Class Election in force for the Fund, for the Financial Year to Members under the AMIT Regime.

  • (b) The Responsible Entity must perform the attribution under clause 15.15(a) in accordance with the Tax Act and the following principles:

  • (i) the amount of each Member’s Determined Member Components of a particular character is so much of the Fund’s Determined Trust Component of that particular character as is attributable to the Units held by the Member, having regard to the provisions of this constitution; and

  • (ii) if there is more than one Class on issue in the Fund and the Responsible Entity has made an AMIT Class Election for the Fund, each Class will be treated as a separate AMIT for the purposes of the attribution under clause 15.15(a).

  • (c) Subject to clause 15.16, but without limiting clause 15.15(b), following the end of an AMIT Income Year, the Responsible Entity must determine for and attribute to each Member or former Member of the Fund, all of the Determined Trust Components of the Fund or relevant Class (where there is an AMIT Class Election in effect for the Fund) for the Financial Year that are reflected in:

  • (i) any Income Distributions that the Member or former Member has become entitled to at the end of each Distribution Period in the Financial Year under clause 15.6;

  • (ii) any Income Component distributed to the Member or the former Member under clause 12.18;

  • (iii) any distributions of Distributable Income that the Member or former Member has become entitled to during the Financial Year under clause 15.24(b); and

  • (iv) any Income Distributions that would arise for the Member or former Member at a time specified in clause 15.5(c) (“ Relevant Time ”) under clause 15.6 if the Relevant Time was the end of a Distribution Period and variable “C” in the formula set out in clause 15.6 for the Distribution Period was the amount accumulated under clause 15.5(a)(i).

  • (d) The Responsible Entity may, during an AMIT Income Year, make estimates of the extent to which particular amounts of Distributable Income that have been distributed for the Fund as an Income Distribution

CD Private Equity Fund IV Consolidated September 2020

45

© King & Wood Mallesons 58495082 7 ~~58495082 1~~

under clause 15.6 or under clause 15.24(b) are referable to Determined Trust Components of the Fund or the relevant Class (where there is an AMIT Class Election in effect in relation to the Fund) for the Financial Year of a particular character. These estimates are not binding on the Responsible Entity when undertaking the process provided for under clause 15.15(a).

15.16 Attribution under AMIT Regime – AMIT Class Election

Where there is an AMIT Class Election in effect, then without limiting clause 15.15:

  • (a) in calculating the Determined Trust Components of each Class for the Fund, the Responsible Entity must only include in the Determined Trust Components of a Class the Determined Trust Components of the Fund that are referable to the Class, in accordance with the methodology used to determine the Income Distributions of Members of the Class, having regard to clause 15.26; and

  • (b) the Responsible Entity must only attribute Determined Trust Components of a particular Class to Members or former Members of that Class (and not any other Class).

15.17 Attribution under AMIT Regime – Member objections

If the Fund is an AMIT and a Member or former Member makes an objection or proposed objection to how the Responsible Entity attributes the Determined Trust Components of the Fund or a Class (where the Responsible Entity has made an AMIT Class Election for the Fund) to the Member or former Member under the AMIT Regime, including by making a Member Objection Choice:

  • (a) the Member or former Member must:

  • (i) provide the Responsible Entity with a copy of the objection notice including the basis for objection, within the time the Member is required to do so under the Tax Act for the objection to be effective;

  • (ii) provide to the Responsible Entity any information the Responsible Entity reasonably requests in relation to the Member’s or former Member’s objection or proposed objection;

  • (iii) indemnify the Responsible Entity against all costs and liabilities incurred by the Responsible Entity as a result of the objection. This paragraph (iii) does not limit the Responsible Entity’s other rights to indemnification under this constitution;

  • (b) the Responsible Entity may take such actions as it considers necessary, appropriate or reasonable to provide for the rights and interests of other Members or former Members of the Fund to be protected, including in dealings with the Commissioner of Taxation; and

  • (c) the Responsible Entity may amend its attribution of Determined Trust Components to Members or former Members based on the Responsible Entity’s determination of what attribution is appropriate, and take such actions as the Responsible Entity determines are necessary to give effect to the amended attribution, including issuing or reissuing AMMA Statements to Members or former Members.

CD Private Equity Fund IV Consolidated September 2020

46

15.18 AMIT Regime Unders/Overs

For any Financial Year that is an AMIT Income Year, the Responsible Entity may determine how any Unders or Overs that arise for the Fund are to be dealt with in accordance with the AMIT Regime. The Responsible Entity is not liable to any Member or former Member with respect to how it addresses any Unders or Overs, provided that the Responsible Entity addresses the Unders or Overs in accordance with the AMIT Regime, and irrespective of whether the choices made result in an attribution outcome for a Member or former Member that is different from the attribution outcome if the Responsible Entity had not made the choice, or had made the choice differently.

15.19 Availability of reinvestment

The Responsible Entity may decide whether to permit the Members to reinvest some or all of any distribution.

15.20 Terms of reinvestment

If the Responsible Entity decides to permit reinvestment, it must notify Members of the procedure and terms for reinvestment and any change in the procedure or terms.

15.21 Issue date

If reinvestment applies to the share of Distributable Income on any Unit held by a Member at the end of a Distribution Period or any part of that share, the Responsible Entity is taken to have received and Accepted an application to reinvest that share of Distributable Income, or part of it at the end of that Distribution Period. The new Units are issued at the time of that Acceptance.

15.22 Fund taxed as company[57]

If the Fund is to be taxed as if it were a company, whether because it is or becomes a public trading trust for the purposes of Division 6C of Part III of the Tax Act or otherwise, the following provisions of this clause 15.22 apply and clauses 15.1 to 15.13 do not apply. If this clause 15.22 applies:

  • (a) as soon as practicable after the end of the Financial Year the Responsible Entity must determine the income of the Fund in respect of the Financial Year, for each of taxation purposes and accounting purposes (which may be different amounts);

  • (b) the Responsible Entity must provide for, and pay from the Assets of the Fund when appropriate, all taxation attributable to the income of the Fund;

  • (c) the Members will not have a present entitlement at the end of a Distribution Period to the net income of the Fund;

  • (d) the Responsible Entity may from time to time, including during the Financial Year, determine to pay distributions in respect of the Financial Year (each a “ Distributable Amount ”) to the Members on the Register on any date determined by the Responsible Entity (“ Books Closing Date ”);

57 It is suggested that this clause be excluded unless needed for the particular fund, as it may run the risk of the Fund not being a fixed trust for tax purposes.

CD Private Equity Fund IV Consolidated September 2020

47

© King & Wood Mallesons 58495082 7 ~~58495082 1~~

  • (e) in respect of a Distributable Amount being paid to Members under this clause 15.22:

  • (i) the Responsible Entity may take all necessary or desirable steps in relation to distributions, including the franking of the distributions; and

  • (ii) the Responsible Entity must take any steps or actions as may reasonably be required in order to comply with the requirements of the Tax Act in relation to trusts which are taxed as if they were companies; and

  • (f) subject to any rights attaching to any Unit, a Member is entitled to a portion of the Distributable Amount, calculated as follows:

A x C B

where:

  • A = the aggregate of the number of Units held by the Member at the Books Closing Date;

  • B = the aggregate of the number of Units in issue at the Books Closing Date; and

  • C = the Distributable Amount.

15.23 Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Responsible Entity does not incur any liability nor is it obliged to account to anyone (including any Member or former Member) nor is it liable for any loss or damage as a result of the exercise of any discretion or power under this clause 15 or under the AMIT Regime in respect of an AMIT Income Year, or in respect of any determination of fact or law made as part of, or as a consequence of, the exercise of such discretion or power despite any error or miscalculation in any provision made for Tax.

15.24 Other distributions

The Responsible Entity may at any time:

  • (a) distribute any amount of capital to Members pro rata according to the number of Units they hold as at a time decided by the Responsible Entity; or.

  • (b) distribute any amount of income, or income and capital as components of Distributable Income, to Members pro rata according to the number of Units they hold as at a time decided by the Responsible Entity.

The distribution may be in cash or by way of additional Units or a transfer of Assets under clause 16.5. The distribution must be paid as soon as is reasonably practicable.

15.25 Member may direct

The Responsible Entity may act on a direction given by a Member in such form as the Responsible Entity requires to pay to a third party nominated in the direction all or part of the Member’s entitlement to distributions of income and capital under this clause 15 or under clause 27 on winding up.

48

15.26 Classes

The rights of a Member under this clause 15 are subject to the rights, obligations and restrictions attaching to any particular Unit or the Class of Units which they hold.

15.27 Former Members

For the purposes of clauses 15.15 to 15.18, and notwithstanding clause 1.1, references to a “Member” or “Members” (other than in this clause 15.27) are taken to include former Members who were Members of the Fund during the relevant AMIT Income Year or, as appropriate, during an earlier AMIT Income Year. This clause 15.27 does not affect the interpretation of any clause of this constitution other than clauses 15.15 to 15.18.

15.28 Partly Paid Units

A Unit which is a Partly Paid Unit participates in the distribution of Distributable Income or the Distributable Amount as if it were a Fully Paid Unit.

16 Payments

16.1 Payment method

Money payable by the Responsible Entity to a Relevant Security Holder may be paid in any manner the Responsible Entity decides.

16.2 Cheques

Cheques issued by the Responsible Entity that are not presented within 6 months may be cancelled. Where a cheque which is cancelled was drawn in favour of a Relevant Security Holder, the money is to be held by the Responsible Entity for the Relevant Security Holder or paid by the Responsible Entity in accordance with the legislation relating to unclaimed moneys.

16.3 Electronic transfers

Where the Responsible Entity attempts to make a payment by electronic transfer of funds to a Relevant Security Holder and the transfer is unsuccessful on 3 occasions, the money may be held by the Responsible Entity for the Relevant Security Holder or paid by the Responsible Entity in accordance with the legislation relating to unclaimed moneys.

16.4 Rounding

Only whole cents are to be paid, and any remaining fraction of a cent becomes an Asset.

16.5 Transfer of Assets

The Responsible Entity may transfer Assets to a Member rather than pay cash in satisfaction of all or part of a redemption request, in payment of a distribution of income or capital, amounts owing under a buyback or as part of the winding up of the Fund or any other amounts owing to the Member in respect of the Fund, either:

(a) with the consent of the Member; or

CD Private Equity Fund IV Consolidated September 2020

49

© King & Wood Mallesons 58495082 7 ~~58495082 1~~

  • (b) if the Responsible Entity reasonably considers the transfer of Assets rather than cash is in the best interests of Members, without the consent of the Member.

The Assets transferred, together with any cash paid, must be of equal value to the total amount due to the Member (based on a valuation which is consistent with the range of ordinary commercial practice for valuation of assets of that type and is reasonably current, having regard to the type of asset involved and prevailing market conditions). If paragraph (a) of this clause 16.5 applies, the costs involved in transfer of these Assets must be paid by the Member or deducted from the amount due to the Member.

For the purposes of this clause 16.5, the Responsible Entity will be taken to have transferred Assets to a Member or former Member where the Responsible Entity has done everything reasonably necessary on its part to convey the Assets to the Member or former Member.

16.6 Joint Relevant Security Holders

A payment to any one of joint Relevant Security Holders will discharge the Responsible Entity in respect of the payment.

16.7 Deduction of Tax or amounts owing

The Responsible Entity may deduct from any amount to be paid to a Relevant Security Holder, or received from a Relevant Security Holder, any amount of Tax (or an estimate of it) or any other amount owed by the Relevant Security Holder to the Responsible Entity or any other person which the Responsible Entity is required or authorised to deduct by law or by this constitution or which the Responsible Entity considers should be deducted, including under clauses 15.17(a)(iii), 24.3 or 24.4.

17 Powers of the Responsible Entity

17.1 General powers

  • (a) Subject to this constitution, the Responsible Entity has all the legal capacity and powers both inside and outside Australia in respect of the Fund that it is possible under the law to confer on a trustee and as though the Responsible Entity were an individual who is the absolute owner of the Assets acting in their personal capacity.

  • (b) Except as provided in clause 14, the Responsible Entity is not, and nothing in this constitution entitles the Responsible Entity to act as, the agent of any Member or Members. This is so despite any directions or instructions the Member or Members may give or may be entitled to give to the Responsible Entity.

17.2 Contracting and borrowing powers[58]

Without limiting clause 17.1, the Responsible Entity in its capacity as trustee of the Fund has power to enter into any form of contract and to incur all types of obligations and liabilities including:

  • (b) lend money and on-lend or provide financial accommodation to any person.

17.4 Power of delegation[59]

The Responsible Entity may authorise any person to act as its agent or delegate (in the case of a joint appointment, jointly and severally) to hold title to any Asset, perform any act or exercise any discretion within the Responsible Entity’s power, including the power to appoint in turn its own agent or delegate.

17.5 Terms of delegation

The Responsible Entity may include provisions in the authorisation to protect and assist those dealing with the agent or delegate and to limit the Responsible Entity’s liability, as the Responsible Entity thinks fit.

17.6 Delegate may be an associate

  • (v) any compliance committee established by the Responsible Entity in connection with the Fund, including any fees paid to or insurance premiums[84] in respect of Compliance Committee Members;

  • (w) while the Fund is a Registered Scheme and there is no compliance committee, any costs and expenses associated with the board of directors of the Responsible Entity carrying out the functions which would otherwise be carried out by a compliance committee, including any fees paid to or insurance premiums in respect of external directors whose appointment or tenure satisfies the requirements of Chapter 5C of the Corporations Act;

  • (x) fees payable to any audit committee for the Fund appointed in accordance with ASX corporate governance guidelines or otherwise;

  • (y) the preparation, implementation, amendment and audit of the compliance plan;

  • (z) the cost of handling complaints from Members and resolving disputes with them, including the cost of membership of an external dispute resolution scheme;

  • (aa) the cost of the Responsible Entity employing a compliance officer to carry out compliance duties under the compliance plan, in so far as the allocation of their time is attributable to matters connected with the Fund;

  • (bb) complying with any law, and any request or requirement of ASIC or ASX; and

  • (cc) in connection with any CCIV Proposal, Top Hat Proposal, Exchange Proposal or any other Reorganisation Proposal.

In this clause 25, “Expenses” includes amounts paid by the Responsible Entity to related bodies corporate for services where the expenses would have been reimburseable had they been incurred by the Responsible Entity.

25.7 GST

Except where stated otherwise, all amounts in this constitution do not include any amount payable on account of GST. If the Responsible Entity is or becomes liable to pay GST in respect of any supply under or in connection with this constitution then, in addition to any fee or other amount or consideration payable to the Responsible Entity in respect of the supply, the Responsible Entity is entitled to be paid out of the Assets an additional amount on account of GST. This amount is to be calculated by multiplying the fee, amount or consideration for the part of the supply which is a taxable supply for GST purposes by the prevailing rate of GST.

In relation to fees that are expressed as GST inclusive in this constitution, this clause applies only to the extent to which there has been an increase in the rate of GST so that the new GST inclusive fee is determined by converting the existing GST inclusive fee to a GST exclusive figure and multiplying it by the prevailing rate of GST.

25.8 Input tax credits

If the Responsible Entity is not entitled to an input tax credit in respect of the amount of any GST charged or recovered from the Responsible Entity by any person, or payable by the Responsible Entity by way of reimbursement of GST

84 See section 601JG.

referable directly or indirectly to any supply made under or in connection with this constitution, the Responsible Entity is entitled to recover from the Fund by way of reimbursement an additional amount equivalent to the amount of the input tax.

25.9 Amendment of certain provisions is contemplated

Without limiting clause 28, the Responsible Entity has power to amend any part of this clause 25 with the effect of increasing or decreasing any amount of fees due to it, or introducing new types of fees, or to otherwise amend, delete or replace any of the provisions of this clause 25 if:

  • (a) while the Fund is a Registered Scheme, the Responsible Entity complies with any applicable requirements of the Corporations Act relating to:

  • (i) amending the constitution of a Registered Scheme,[85] and

  • (ii) increasing fees or charges in relation to a Registered Scheme;[86] or

  • (b) while the Fund is not a Registered Scheme, the Responsible Entity obtains the written consent of the sole Member or, if there is more than one Member, gives at least five Business Days’ prior notice to Members of the amendment or complies with clause 28.2.

26 Duration of the Fund

26.1 Initial settlement

The Fund commences when one or more persons subscribe $16 each or another amount determined by the Responsible Entity or, at the discretion of the Responsible Entity, transfers property acceptable to the Responsible Entity, for Units in the Fund (“ Initial Units ”) and the Responsible Entity issues Units to that person in return for that payment or transfer. The Application Price for Units issued under this clause is $1.60, and the price may be paid in instalments as the Responsible Entity determines. The Initial Units will be automatically redeemed immediately upon the issue of Units under clause 9.1(a) or any other issue of Units, without the need for a redemption request, at a Redemption Price of $1.60 per Unit.

26.2 Termination

The Fund terminates on the earliest of:

  • (a) while the Fund is a Registered Scheme;

    • (i) a date which the Members determine by extraordinary resolution (as defined in the Corporations Act); or

    • (ii) a date determined by the Responsible Entity and advised to Members by notice in writing not less than 60 days before the proposed date of termination;

  • (b) while the Fund is not a Registered Scheme, a date determined by the Responsible Entity and specified in a notice to Members sent at least 1

  • 85 Section 601GC. 86 Section 1017B(4).

CD Private Equity Fund IV Consolidated September 2020

66

month before the proposed termination, unless all Members consent to shorter notice; and

  • (c) the date on which the Fund terminates in accordance with clause 26.3, any other provision of this constitution, or by law.[87]

26.3 Change in taxation

If at any time legislation is enacted the result of which is that the Responsible Entity is liable to pay any income tax or capital gains tax (other than withholding tax or tax of a similar nature) on the income of the Fund other than income not distributed to Members, the Responsible Entity may call a meeting of the Members to consider winding up the Fund and if by special resolution the meeting so decides, the Responsible Entity may wind up the Fund.

26.4 Restriction on issue and redemption of Units

Despite any other provisions in this constitution, no Units may be issued or redeemed after the 80th anniversary of the day preceding the day the Fund commenced, unless that issue or redemption would not offend the rule against perpetuities, or any other rule of law or equity.

27 Procedure on termination

27.1 Realisation of Assets and payment of expenses

Following termination, the Responsible Entity must:

  • (a) realise the Assets except to the extent it determines to distribute Assets to Members in accordance with clause 16.5 pro rata according to their holding of Units as part of winding up of the Fund; and

  • (b) make payments (or set aside estimated amounts) from the Assets to pay the Fund’s expenses and liabilities, and the costs or anticipated costs of winding up the Fund. These amounts will reduce the proceeds of winding up that a Member may otherwise receive, but a Member is not required to pay any of these amounts from their own funds.[88]

To the extent that realisation of Assets is required, this must be completed in 180 days if practical and in any event as soon as possible after that. The Responsible Entity may, however, postpone realisation of the Assets or any Asset if the Responsible Entity reasonably considers it would be in the best interests of Members to do so and the Responsible Entity is not responsible for any consequent loss or damage attributable to that postponement.

27.2 Auditor and liquidator

  • (a) If, at the time it is to be wound up, the Fund is a Registered Scheme, the Responsible Entity must arrange for an independent audit of the final accounts of the Fund by a registered company auditor.[89]

  • (b) If the Fund is to be wound up because its Liabilities exceed its Assets or there is expected to be insufficient cash for the Responsible Entity to meet Liabilities from the Assets as and when they fall due, the Responsible Entity may appoint an appropriately qualified liquidator to

87 See Part 5C.9 on winding up. 88 ASIC RG 134.192.

  • 89 ASIC RG 134.200, 134.201.

67

carry out the winding up, and delegate to the liquidator the powers of the Responsible Entity under this constitution as necessary to facilitate the winding up.[90]

27.3 Distribution following termination

Subject to clause 16.5, the net proceeds of realisation, after making allowance for all Liabilities of the Fund (actual and anticipated) including entitlements of Members to a share of Distributable Income, meeting the expenses (including anticipated expenses) of the termination, and taking into account Assets which are to be distributed pro rata to Members as part of the winding up, must be distributed to Members in accordance with the following formula for the amount a particular Member is to receive:

==> picture [75 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

Where:

  • A = the amount remaining in the Fund, excluding unpaid amounts in relation to Partly Paid Units and any interest on those amounts (if applicable), after deduction of the Liabilities and expenses referred to in this clause 27.3;

  • B = the aggregate of the number of Units held by the Member as at termination, including both Fully Paid Units and Partly Paid Units;

  • C = the aggregate of the total number of Units in issue as at termination, including both Fully Paid Units and Partly Paid Units;

  • X = the aggregate of the amounts remaining unpaid on all Partly Paid Units in issue (if any) and interest (if applicable); and

  • Y = the aggregate of the amounts remaining unpaid on all Partly Paid Units held by the Member (if any) as at termination and interest (if applicable).

If the calculation of the entitlement to distribution of capital in respect of a particular Member in accordance with the formula in this clause 27.3 results in a negative dollar amount, then that Member must pay to the Responsible Entity within 30 days of the date of a written request to do so that dollar amount, and the amount so required to be paid will become an Asset available for distribution on the winding up of the Fund.

The Responsible Entity may distribute any Assets and the net proceeds of realisation in instalments.

27.4 Provisions continue to apply

Subject to the Corporations Act and this constitution, the provisions of this constitution continue to apply from the date of termination until the date of final distribution under clause 27.3, but during that period the Responsible Entity may not:

  • (a) accept any applications for Units from a person who is not an existing Member and the Responsible Entity is under no obligation to consider or process redemption requests received after the date of termination; or

  • 90 ASIC RG 134.198.

68

(b) accumulate an amount under clause 15.5(a)(i) for the last Distribution Period of the Fund.

28 Amendments to this constitution

28.1 Responsible Entity may amend

Subject to the Corporations Act,[91] while the Fund is a Registered Scheme, this constitution may be amended:

  • (a) by Resolution;[92] or

  • (b) by deed executed by the Responsible Entity.

  • (a) facilitate compliance with the preconditions for the operation of the AMIT Regime in relation to the Fund;

  • (b) facilitate compliance with the terms of the AMIT Regime in relation to the Fund, including any provisions of the AMIT Regime that, if not complied with, would result in any additional liability or penalty for the Responsible Entity or Members;

  • (c) facilitate the proper administration and operation of the Fund under the AMIT Regime and ensure that there is an appropriate and equitable application of the powers and rights of the Responsible Entity and Members that arise under the AMIT Regime; or

  • (a) despite anything contained in this constitution, if the Listing Rules prohibit an act being done, the act will not be done;

  • (b) nothing contained in this constitution prevents an act being done that the Listing Rules require to be done;

  • (c) if the Listing Rules require an act to be done or not to be done, authority is given for that act to be done or not to be done (as the case may be);

  • (d) if the Listing Rules require this constitution to contain a provision and it does not contain such a provision, this constitution is taken to contain that provision;

  • (e) if the Listing Rules require this constitution not to contain a provision and it contains the provision, this constitution is taken not to contain that provision; and

  • (f) if any provision of this constitution is or becomes inconsistent with the Listing Rules, this constitution is taken not to contain that provision to the extent of the inconsistency.

29.2 Corporations Act and ASIC Relief

  • (a) If the Corporations Act requires that this constitution contain certain provisions, or if ASIC Class Order [CO 13/655] (or any other ASIC Relief on which the Responsible Entity has determined it wishes to rely or which is expressly applicable to the Fund and the Responsible Entity) requires provisions to a certain effect to be contained in this constitution in order for the ASIC Relief to apply (“ Required Provisions ”); or

  • (b) if any part of this constitution (a “ Required Part ”) is included to comply with the requirements of the Corporations Act, Listing Rules, ASIC or ASX (“ Regulatory Requirement ”) and that Regulatory Requirement ceases or changes,

then, to the extent the Corporations Act allows, this constitution is taken to be amended so that the Required Provisions are included as separate provisions, or the Required Part is deleted or amended to reflect the amended Regulatory Requirement. The Required Provisions prevail over any other provisions of this constitution to the extent of any inconsistency.

  • (ii) agree that, subject to the Corporations Act, their rights under this constitution do not include or extend to a right not to have this constitution amended to comply with a Regulatory Requirement or to include Required Provisions.

  • In this constitution:

  • (a) except as otherwise provided in a particular clause or by law, a requirement of the Corporations Act only applies while the Fund is a Registered Scheme; and

  • (b) a requirement of the Listing Rules only applies while the Fund is Listed.

29.4 ASIC Class Orders

In accordance with ASIC Class Order [CO 98/1808][94] or its equivalent or any similar ASIC Relief from subsections 601GC(1) and (2) of the Corporations Act, and for so long as they apply to the Fund, a change in the text of this constitution because of the operation of clause 29.2 that is covered by the relief instrument is not a modification of, or the repeal and replacement of, the constitution for the purposes of subsections 601GC(1) and (2) of the Corporations Act[95] . Changes in the text of the constitution to which this clause 29.4 applies are made pursuant to the power in clause 28.1 but in respect of those changes the requirements of clause 28.1 are to be read subject to this clause 29.4.

94 This Class Order permits a constitution to include a provision to the effect of Appendix 15A of the Listing Rules, such as clause 29.1 of this constitution. This is sometimes known as the ‘listing rules compliance clause’. 95 This sentence reflects the wording used in ASIC Class Order [CO 98/1808]. 96 See section 601JF.

  • 97 See ASIC RG 134.135

  • 98 The Responsible Entity may treat retail and wholesale clients differently for this purpose – see RG 134.145 and [CO 13/656].
